The Fiedler Society embodies the commitment and vision of Arthur Fiedler, our beloved Boston Pops conductor who started and continued many of the musical traditions that enrich Boston today. The Boston Pops gathers communities to connect through the power and emotion of music, creates the playlist to festive holiday celebrations, and shares the joy of popular music from film scores, Broadway, classics from the American Songbook, and bold humanities-inspired collaborations. For more than 139 years, the Boston Pops has entertained audiences around the world, and since 1995, Conductor Keith Lockhart has gracefully led the orchestra with unwavering dedication and passion. The BSO is grateful to current Fiedler Society members, whose gifts provide essential funding and support for the Boston Pops at Symphony Hall, Tanglewood, and beyond. 

The following list recognizes the generosity of donors who have given $3,000-$24,999 to the Boston Pops Annual Fund. To explore membership opportunities, please contact the Friends Office at 617-638-9276.
