Tickets on sale soon for Holiday Pops with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Orchestra

The Boston Pops are also releasing their showstopping performance of "Twelve Days of Christmas"

The Boston Pops will kick off its Holiday Pops public sale date—Monday, September 14—with the release of one of its most popular new arrangements, “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” Available on September 14 for download at www.BostonPops.org/digital the piece is available in three formats: standard MP3 (320 kb/sec) for $3.99; AIFF hi definition stereo for $4.99; and WMA Windows Media hi-definition for $4.99. The download will also be available at www.Amazon.com.

“I knew we had a winning new arrangement of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” when we premiered it in 2007, but the audience’s enthusiastic response night after night was unlike anything I’ve ever seen at the Pops,” said Boston Pops Conductor Keith Lockhart. “Then a flood of letters and phone calls came in requesting a recording of the new arrangement—an incredibly creative twist on one of the greatest Christmas-time classics. We knew then and there that we would make a recording of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” and that it would become a staple of our Holiday season programming.”
