BORN VIRTUALLY.
THRIVING LIVE.

Born out of a desire to make music in a time of isolation, The Firebird Pops Orchestra emerged in 2020 as a virtual ensemble. Today, we are a thriving regional orchestra committed to redefining what orchestral music can be. Our performances blend the power of live music with synchronized multimedia design—delivering professional-caliber productions that are as accessible as they are extraordinary.

MORE THAN MUSIC

The Firebird Pops is a thriving community of musicians, collaborators, and audience members brought together by a shared love of bold, cinematic performance. Our concerts go far beyond what most regional orchestras can offer—featuring synchronized video, custom effects, and ambitious scores that come with higher production costs.

Your support helps us keep these experiences accessible to all while sustaining the creative community that makes it possible.
