This year, Houston Symphony Principal POPS Conductor Designate Steven Reineke is taking the reins of our Very Merry Pops celebration and dazzles you with holiday merriment. The program includes classics like “Carol of the Bells” and a fresh interpretation of “Jingle Bell Rock.” In typical Very Merry Pops tradition, expect a “Winter Wonderland” which includes sweeping sounds of the Houston Symphony Chorus, beautiful new arrangements by our maestro—and of course, Santa!
