Urbana Pops Orchestra

Support the Cause!

The Urbana Pops Orchestra exists because generous individuals and organizations support live orchestral music. We believe there's nothing quite like going to a UPO concert and experiencing the classics or newer pops repertoire played by talented professionals and students. We wish to thank the following for making our mission possible!
