2021, marks the 70th year the Como Pops Ensemble has entertained families and senior citizens at Como Park Lakeside Pavilion, on Sundays during the summer months.
The “Pops” ensemble is a concert band of professional musicians, all of whom are members of the Local Union 30-73 of the American Federation of Musicians. Union professionals liven up Orchestra Hall, Ordway Center, Children’s Theatre, SPCO Center, and Chanhassen Dinner Theatre, other theaters, the Vikings, Twins and other sports events but most important park concerts!
We are striving to enhance our heritage of good music and cultural excellence by supporting the programming, performance and continuing development of the Como Pops Ensemble. 
We continue to work on raising more funds this fall by way of individual donations, grants and sponsorships. The ensemble hopes to be able to provide as many concerts as possible this year with the full 24 piece band. If the full ensemble is not possible, the Como Pops Ensemble will continue to provide music concerts during eh summer with smaller ensembles.
