“Wow do we have some super fun music for you next season,” said Nick Palmer, North Charleston POPS! Conductor and Music Director. “Audience members will certainly remember the amazing singing of Lakisha Jones, opening our season with a superb program featuring songs from Diana Ross, Donna Summer, Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin. POPS! favorite Rich Ridenour will be returning in November, this time to the podium, for a patriotic program loaded with his signature wit and the added talents of the School of the Arts Chorus. We open 2023 with Dance Party: just about every kind of dance you can imagine performed by your hometown orchestra, followed by Maestro Nick's Picks. I can't wait for this one… our greatest hits from the last 10 years of the Pops plus my personal favorites. The season will conclude with an exciting program of music from Super Heroes including Iron Man, Jurassic Park, Black Panther, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter and The Avengers. Let us reserve your seats!”
