Jim ten Bensel and the Como Pops Ensemble
2025 marks the 73rd year that the Como Pops Ensemble has been delighting families and seniors at Como Park Lakeside Pavilion with free concerts every Sunday during the summer.
This talented concert band comprises professional musicians affiliated with Local Union 30-73 of the American Federation of Musicians, who also perform at renowned venues such as Orchestra Hall and the Ordway Center, as well as at various sports events.
Our commitment to preserving a rich musical heritage drives us to support the programming and ongoing development of the Como Pops Ensemble.
We are actively seeking to raise funds through individual donations, grants, and sponsorships to ensure that we can present as many concerts as possible with the full 24-piece band.
Each August, we host a special concert where musicians generously donate their time to celebrate music in the parks and raise funds for future performances.
We appreciate your support, and donations can be made to Springboard for the Arts, with "Como Pops" noted in the memo line for tax-deductible contributions.
