Under the swinging baton of conductor Keith Lockhart, the Boston Pops will play the songs of a more sophisticated time in Music from the Mad Men Era. Come to Symphony Hall dressed in the fashion of the early '60s for a concert inspired by Mad Men, AMC's hit period drama. Singer Steve Lippia, whom Lockhart has called "the absolute vocal reincarnation of the Sinatra sound," will channel the Chairman of the Board as the Boston Pops plays lush orchestrations of your favorite standards. Lockhart, Lippia and the Pops will perform everything from lounge Latin to the tunes of the British invasion, as well as such classic songs as "Fly Me to the Moon," "Mack the Knife" and "The Best is Yet to Come." In addition to the music, special lighting and period cocktails available for purchase will help recreate that period of fiery optimism and maximum cool. Learn More

About the Ticket Supplier: Harvey Robbins' Productions

The Doo-Wopp Hall of Fame of America was founded in 1989 by Harvey Robbins, a member of former doo-wopp group The Interludes. Although it is not housed in a specific location (that was never the intent), the Hall of Fame holds an annual induction ceremony which honors doo-wopp groups and their individual members.

With a home office in Westford, Massachusetts, the Doo-Wopp Hall of Fame hosts the yearly event at Boston's Symphony Hall. After noticing that doo-wopp groups were often overlooked by larger organizations, Robbins wanted to start an organization that would give back to these groups who rarely get the recognition they deserve.
