Daily News | The Philly Pops is shutting down, leaders say
In a major blow to Philadelphia’s arts scene, leaders of the Philly Pops say they will dissolve the organization, leaving the city without a stand-alone pops orchestra and the Kimmel Center with one fewer resident company.
The music won’t end immediately. Programs already announced for this season will go on with the existing pops ensemble performing under the auspices of the recently merged Philadelphia Orchestra and Kimmel Center, Inc. Each planned program this season will be produced, though likely with fewer repeats.
“This will make Philadelphia a less vibrant city than we have been for decades,” said Patricia Wilson Aden, president and CEO of the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance, of the pops’s impending shutdown. “This is the kind of repercussion we feared in a post-pandemic Philadelphia.” Those numbers aren’t crushing, but Giordano says that the group decided agaInst a Chapter 11 Reorganization that would have kept the group alive.
