The American Pops Orchestra

The American Pops Orchestra (APO) is a vibrant ensemble bringing fresh energy to classic American music. Founded in 2015 by conductor and music director Luke Frazier, this Washington, D.C.-based group specializes in reimagining popular songs, Broadway hits, and timeless standards with a modern twist. Known for their lively live performances at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center, APO blends showmanship with accessibility—whether they’re putting a playful spin on holiday favorites like *Carol of the Bells* or delivering soaring instrumental versions of film themes like *My Heart Will Go On*. Beyond the stage, they focus on music education and community outreach, aiming to make orchestral music relatable to new generations. With releases like *Live at Carnegie Hall* and genre-blending tracks such as *Drumbolero*, APO celebrates the full spectrum of American pop culture, one infectious melody at a time.
