The Urbana Pops Orchestra is a symphony orchestra based in Urbana, Illinois which focuses on both performance of orchestral pops music and education of local students.

Beginnings

The Urbana Pops Orchestra (or "UPO") was first conceived in late 2009 as an extension of Urbana's summer youth theater pit orchestra. Principal Conductor and founder Daniel Southerland formed the orchestra from community members, high school students, and students at the University of Illinois.[1] After a conductor, staff, and guild were formed, the orchestra rehearsed for the first time in June 2010 to prepare for its summer season. Consequent rehearsals led to its first concert "Urbana Pops at the Movies" (June 2010) and "Urbana Pops Plays Broadway" (July 2010). To conclude its first season, a reduced pit orchestra served as the music for summer 2010's Urbana Youth Theater production (in its original capacity) "Once Upon a Mattress."

Concerts

To date, the Urbana Pops Orchestra has shown the following concerts.

  • June 2010 - Urbana Pops at the Movies
  • July 2010 - Urbana Pops Plays Broadway
  • July 2010 - Once Upon a Mattress with Summer Youth Theater

Orchestra Board

To help support for the UPO, the Urbana Pops Orchestra Board was formed in summer 2010 with the mission of fundraising, volunteer work, and marketing for the orchestra.
