Seattle Pops

We have been going to the Seattle Pops for over 25 years and watched it move from the Opera House down to the beautiful Benaroya Hall.
Tonight we saw Mr. Marvin Hamlisch directing a salute to Barbra Streisand. As are all the performances of the Seattle Pops, it was fantastic and a great way to spend the evening.
I do complain a lot about Washington (hailing from the East Coast) but I will say that Benaroya Hall is a treasure out here and the Seattle Pops can stand up against the Boston and Washington DC pops.
Mr. Hamlisch has brought in a slightly younger group — when we started going it was mostly big band and 30’s and 40’s music — but he has updated it to the 50’s and 60’s but still includes the older groups. Since it is what he is good at, he includes Broadway show music spaning from the 30’s up to the 80’s.
We have taken many of the younger generation with us (20’s and 30’s) and have been able to introduce them to a type of music that you don’t hear as much but was enjoyable to them.
We strongly suggest all attends at least one of the five shows they have each year.
