Mission: The mission of the Glen Rock Pops is to present live orchestral concerts of popular music in our community, by members of the community, for the entire community.
The Glen Rock Pops Orchestra, under the leadership of Music Director Anthony LaGruth continues the almost five-decade tradition of performing popular music drawn from many musical genres such as rock, jazz, Broadway, movies, television shows, or light classical.
Comprised of musicians from area communities, the Glen Rock Pops brings the gift of live music, to friends, neighbors, and fellow community members.
Support the Pops. Come enjoy a Pops concert.

Come Feel & Hear It
Our Sound & Spirit
We have such a great depth of human history in all of the arts, whether it's opera or mathematics or painting or classical music or jazz. There's so many things to study, new books to read, and certainly always ways to transform old ideas and to come up with new ones.
The Glen Rock Pops is a community gem. We are SO fortunate to have them!
It was a lovely concert, I enjoyed it very much! Thank you!
