The Atlanta Pops Orchestra

With a rich history spanning seven decades, the Atlanta Pops Orchestra has captivated audiences throughout the world with a diverse repertoire of popular music.

Equally adept performing pop, jazz, folk, hip-hop, light classical, country and more, the Atlanta Pops Orchestra challenges the expectation of what an orchestra is capable of delivering. The Pops has found it’s niche connecting artists and developing shows for performers such as former and original Celtic Woman member Chloë Agnew, John Driskell Hopkins of Zac Brown Band, chart-topping group and IBMA entertainers of the year Balsam Range and tenor Timothy Miller as well as performing with hip-hop group Arrested Development, Beatboxer Heav’N Beatbox, rocker Michelle Malone and country singer Katie Deal.

Dr. Jason Altieri is the current Music Director of the Atlanta Pops and Assoc. Conductor for the Reno Philharmonic. Dr. Altieri is also a strong advocate for young musicians through his position as Director of Orchestras at the University of Nevada and with guest conducting engagements with youth orchestras throughout the country.
