The National Symphony Orchestra Pops is the pops concert orchestra within the National Symphony. As the orchestra of the U. S. capital, The National Symphony Orchestra regularly participates in events of national importance, including performances for state occasions, presidential inaugurations and official holiday celebrations. Through its worldwide tours and performances for heads of state, the National Symphony also fills an important international role. Now in its 73rd season, it is generally recognized as one of today's finest orchestras. In 1986 the National Symphony became the artistic affiliate of The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the nation's center for the performing arts, where it has presented a concert season annually since the Center opened in 1971. The Orchestra's 52-week season, of approximately 175 concerts annually, consists of classical subscription series, pops concerts and one of the country's most extensive educational programs. courtesy of The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
