Broadway Magazine writes: "Joined by the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, the Pops were in fine form as Lockhart conducted the world premiere of “From Sea to Shining Sea” by Tony Award-winning composer Stephen Flaherty (“Ragtime”), who was in the Symphony Hall audience, arranged by frequent Pops collaborator Bill Elliott and based on director John de Graaf's film "From Sea to Shining Sea: Katharine Lee Bates and the Story of America the Beautiful." Respected Boston actress Paula Plum movingly narrated the story of Katharine Lee Bates, the Falmouth native and Wellesley College graduate who wrote “America the Beautiful” and inspired the Pops’ newest commission."

Sad that you missed it? Don’t worry, you can still see From Sea to Shining Sea being performed!

The Boston Pops will perform on the Fourth of July, and Tanglewood’s Boston Symphony Orchestra on August 22nd. We hope to see you there!
