Description
The 2020 Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular broadcast, under the direction Keith Lockhart, will present A Boston Pops Salute to Our Heroes, featuring both new content and retrospective highlights from many of the most beloved performers from the past three years. With America’s Orchestra taking center stage, the program will include the Boston Pops’ newly released video production and viral hit of John Williams’ Summon the Heroes, paying tribute to the healthcare workers, first responders, and other essential service providers who are the heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic, and honoring the memories of those who have lost their lives during this crisis.
Opening with Brian Stokes Mitchell singing “America the Beautiful” and closing with the ever-popular fireworks extravaganza, the wide-ranging broadcast will also honor the great traditions of Boston’s Independence Day celebration with performances of Tchaikovsky’s “1812” Overture, “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” and the annual Patriotic Sing-Along, taken from broadcasts in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Boston Pops Conductor Keith Lockhart teams up with Bloomberg’s Kim Carrigan, Joe Shortsleeve, and Janet Wu to host the show.
