The Ottawa Pops Orchestra is a semi-professional community orchestra dedicated to performing accessible and relevant music. The “Pops” in our name is short for “popular,” since a lot of the music that we play is sourced from current popular culture. We are passionate storytellers, and the orchestral experience that we strive to create is one full of once-upon-a-times, fairy-tale soundscapes, and galaxies far, far away. Even so, we always keep one foot in the world of classical music, celebrating its traditions, its rich history, and especially its romance.
We are passionate about redefining the modern orchestral experience, which we do through our innovative performances. We are made up of people just like you, and we love to dress up and share our love for the music that we play. Our mission: to foster the next generation of musicians, redefine the orchestral experience, and create a sense of community in the Ottawa-Gatineau Region.
