Tipp’s Reineke takes New York Pops baton
Tipp City native Steven Reineke, the associate conductor of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, has been named music director of the New York Pops.
Associated Press reported his hiring Tuesday, Dec. 9, as successor to the late Skitch Henderson, who founded the nation’s largest independent pops orchestra specializing in popular music. Henderson later became NBC-TV music director.
Reineke conducted the Pops’ 25th birthday gala earlier this year at Carnegie Hall, where it has an annual subscription season. He will lead the orchestra in the Macy’s July 4, 2009, fireworks display, which will be televised by NBC.
