Kentucky Symphony Orchestra
The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra hosts the final concert of its summer series at Devou Park Saturday, with a live performance of “Pops, Inc.,” works by Leroy Anderson, Richard Hayman and Henry Mancini. Boston conductor Arthur Fiedler began playing and recording light classics and novelty numbers during his tenure from the 1930s to the 1970s, creating the concept of “pops” concerts. And this nostalgic program honors the great composers and arrrangers who put the “pop” in the Boston Pops, with songs like Anderson’s “Waltzing Cat,” Hayman’s “Little Brown Jug” and Mancini’s theme to The Pink Panther film franchise. Picnics are welcome and the KSO concessions and food trucks will also be available.
7:30 p.m. Saturday. Free. Bandshell Blvd., Devou Park, Covington, Ky., kyso.org.
