The Philly POPS presents the sixth annual Comcast NBCUniversal Memorial Salute at the Mann, presented in partnership with Welcome America—a community concert honoring the American tradition of service, on Friday, May 27 over Memorial Day weekend.
In celebration of those who serve, free tickets will be provided for veterans, active military, Philadelphia police officers, and firefighters.
Led by guest conductor Byron Stripling, the POPS will perform a stirring line-up of patriotic anthems, Great American Songbook classics, and showtunes, with guest vocalist Sydney McSweeney and violinist Jennifer Orchard. Favorites include “Sweet Georgia Brown,” “Hymn to the Fallen,” and “America the Beautiful,” along with the popular “Armed Forces Salute.”
End the evening under the stars with a special fireworks display!
Special ticket links will be available through affiliated bases and organizations for veteran, military, police, firefighter, and first responder groups.
