The upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend provides the perfect opportunity for The Philly POPS to expand its new Salute Series of performances honoring our nation's shared traditions, values, and collective commitment to service. POPS at Longwood for Memorial Day ” a musical tribute to the nation's current and past servicemen and women ” will be a patriotic and Broadway themed concert conducted by the esteemed Todd Ellison in a 90-minute show featuring award-winning vocalists Klea Blackhurst, Kathryn Guthrie, and Ross Lekites and the 65-member Philly POPS orchestra. The event will also include a presentation of the Color Guard. This event, one of the featured presentations of the Longwood Gardens Summer Series, will celebrate the holiday while honoring those who have served with a unique POPS performance set amid the lovely backdrop of the lush Longwood Gardens landscape.
