It's the 125th Anniversary of the Boston Pops and they are giving us a gift. Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops will play on Boston Common at 3 p.m. on Sunday, September 26 in a free concert. Not a typo. It's free. The Pops will perform The Dream Lives On: A Portrait of the Kennedy Brothers, a mix of Kennedy quotes set to an orchestral and choral score. Boston's Jeremiah Kissel will narrate the performance. The concert will also pay tribute to Leroy Anderson, feature Star Wars and Harry Potter scores, and Boston favorites "Sweet Caroline" and "I'm Shipping Up to Boston." Renese King and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus will also perform. [BSO]

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones' three-day run at the House of Blues ended yesterday, but the band will throw down at the Middle East tonight to mark the end of 2009. If you don't have tickets to the sold out show, perhaps you'll be spending tonight planning your New Year's Eve.
From his place before the Boston Pops in the perfect acoustics of Symphony Hall, Ben Folds sported the face of a man who thought he'd committed the perfect crime.
Tickets $20-$75. Limited tickets have been released. Ticket information.
We wondered for a bit whether the Brooklyn born Neil Diamond had a problem with the fact that "Sweet Caroline" now has a permanent place in the Boston scene. But when Diamond performed at Fenway Park last year, playing the song three times over the course of the evening, we figured that he'd finally accepted his honorary Bostonian status.
We were so happy to see that Bostonist buddy Keith Lockhart (KLo) is now on Twitter. We hope he follows us. You can follow the maestro here.
Bostonist was on the phone with our buddy Keith on Thursday, chatting about the upcoming Boston Pops spring season. The initial season announcement had just crossed our desk at Bostonist HQ, and we wanted to see what Keith thought of a spring and summer that will include jazz, Broadway, a season-long tribute to Leonard Bernstein, and appearances by Natalie Cole, Natalie Merchant, and Amanda Palmer.
Bostonist had the wonderful luck to talk to some big-time talents in all fields this year. And, no, we're not sure how we tricked these people into talking to us. Here's a look back:
Bostonist can't quite believe that it's been 15 years since our fair city got itself a rockstar symphony conductor. We remember well when the Keith Craze first sent music fans into a tizzy - the swooning, the squeals, the questions about what the young Keith Lockhart was going to do to the Boston Pops. And here it is, a decade and a half later and Bostonist still under KLo's spell. We've sighed at the sight...
It doesn't feel like July 4 is right around the corner - we're still busily settling into summer mode. But the Boston Pops are busily putting together the details for the annual Boston's 4th of July festivities, and on Thursday it was announced that this year's extravaganza is scheduled to feature some straight-up, blue-jeans, heartland-croonin' Americana. John Mellencamp is slated to share the stage with Keith Lockhart, the Pops and whomever will be selected as...
After a few weeks of uncertainty, the legal battle between the two men involved in the Brawl at the Hall last month took about as much time to resolve in the courtroom as it took for the pair to be escorted out of the Boston Pops' opening night festivities - about ten minutes.
Get 'em in. American Idol is over for this season, but the Popsearch is just beginning. The Boston Pops PopSearch2007 has extended the deadline until midnight tonight. In case you forgot to mail your entry into the talent competition, or you just now realize that you really want your moment in the spotlight, you've got about eleven hours to get it in. As we've mentioned before the ages old organization of the Boston Pops has...
It seems safe to assume that opening night to the 122nd Boston Pops season could be described at least as somewhat of an abnormality. A shout of "Rock This Bitch" doesn't typically ring through the perfect acoustics of Symphony Hall, let alone serve as an acquiesced song request. We've never heard anything about traditional Opening Night audience fistfights. And, with all due respect to those who have sat in with conductor Keith Lockhart and his...
The word "douchebag" tends to be overexposed thanks to Jon Stewart's frequent use of it on the Daily Show. But two guys earned the title of "douchebags" when they interrupted Keith Lockhart and the Pops' opening night with a fight. A woman unleashed an amazing scream. A few seconds later came multiple screams and the disturbance as two guys started fighting, then it turned all trailer-park when one of the guys' shirts got ripped off....
First Keith Lockhart got himself an official website. Then the Boston Pops started teaming up with pop/rock/alternative musical acts. Now Keith and Company are taking to YouTube for some "American Idol"-style action. The Boston Pops - not your average orchestra!
We were starting to worry that the day's music news would contain little but the downright nasty word that Keith Richards cut his father's ashes with cocaine and actually snorted the concoction up his million-years-old nose. Thank you, Boston Globe, for allowing us to turn to a different Keith. A local Keith. A younger Keith. A Keith who, as far as we know, hasn't snorted anyone up his nose. Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops...
Eight Days a Week. The music scene is hot, and we realize that we're not giving you enough lead time on some of the best way to cure a case of the Mondays – with a Monday evening show. This week we're putting eight days into our weekly music picks. Starting on Monday and running through the following week. This week we're eating locally – and listening locally. Several local acts find prominence on...
Bostonist decided to highlight some of the events that might interest you readers out there this holiday weekend:
