The Boston Pops Presents Nine Programs in the 2025–26 Season, Bringing Talented Guest Artists, Family Fun, and Cultural Celebrations to Symphony Hall

The Boston Pops appear throughout the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s 2025–26 season to present nine exciting programs at Symphony Hall, including six with Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart, celebrating his 30th anniversary year. September brings two newly added programs: the acrobatic talents of Cirque de la Symphonie: Cirque Rocks! (Sept. 11, 7:30 p.m.) and From Broadway to Hollywood: Award-Winning Music from the Stage and Screen (Sept. 12, 7:30 p.m.). These are followed by September’s previously announced programs: The Princess Bride in Concert (Sept. 13, 7:30 p.m. & 14, 2 p.m.) and Broadway superstar Mandy Gonzalez singing the music of Lin-Manuel Miranda in a world-premiere program (Sept. 20, 7:30 p.m.). For Halloween, the Pops offers Disney's Hocus Pocus in Concert with Lockhart conducting (Oct. 30 & 31, 7 p.m.), and organist Brett Miller accompanies the 1925 silent-film classic, The Phantom of the Opera (Oct. 31, 10:30 p.m., no orchestra). The orchestra also follows up last fall’s wildly successful inaugural Day of the Dead program (Nov. 1, 7:30 p.m.) and introduces two new cultural celebrations, a Lunar New Year Celebration (Feb. 21, 7:30 p.m.) and Celtic Night: A Tribute to Brian O’Donovan and A Celtic Sojourn (Mar. 14, 7:30 p.m.), the latter presented in collaboration with GBH. 

Single tickets for all Pops programs go on sale Tuesday, June 24 at 10 a.m. Single tickets for previously announced BSO 2025–26 programs go on sale on Thursday, July 31. The annual Holiday Pops concert series, as well as other holiday and New Year’s Eve programming, will be announced and go on sale in early September.
