Balloons falling at the end of Presidents at Pops 2009.
On
June 3, 2009, the Boston Pops held its 28th Annual Presidents at Pops
event at Symphony Hall in Boston. Acclaimed trumpeter Chris Botti joined
conductor Keith Lockhart and The Boston Pops in a special performance
that evening.
Launched in 1982, Presidents at Pops invites companies to celebrate the arrival
of spring with their colleagues and clients in grand musical tradition. The original
Boston Pops corporate fundraising event, Presidents at Pops is a favorite in
the Boston community. Presidents at Pops also provides an opportunity to
sponsor one or more students who attend Days in the Arts at Tanglewood (DARTS),
the BSO's summer arts camp in the Berkshires. More than 400 middle school students
from all over Massachusetts attend this arts immersion program, regardless of
their ability to pay.
