The Harvard Pops Orchestra is a student-run, full symphonic orchestra that performs four times a year,

conducted by Allen Feinstein ‘86. The theatricality and creativity of Pops distinguishes us from all other

Harvard orchestras—Pops features student-written scripts, original films, and a strong emphasis on new music

by undergraduate composers. You’ve heard of musical theater? We bring you theatrical music. Through

concerts built around creative themes (like cartoons, murder mysteries, and pirates, for example), presenting an

eclectic range of music from classical to pop, and employing theatrical and visual elements, we strive to create

events that are not only enriching, but also highly entertaining.
