ABOUT THE EVENT
Bring the whole family to Holiday Pops for a winter wonderland of live music, delicious food, and prizes. This year’s celebration will be even more special as we celebrate RSC’s 50th anniversary season!

TICKETS
Tickets for this benefit event are $75 for general admission, $40 for members of the Rivers Professional Community (faculty/staff), and $25 for students 18 and under (please note that students who are performing do not need a ticket to the event).
The Rivers School Conservatory values all members of our community and it is our goal to accommodate all circumstances. A limited number of “pay what you can” tickets are available for this event. For more information about our “pay what you can” option, please contact the RSC office at music@rivers.org or (781) 235-6840. Guests can also purchase a ‘gift ticket’ to help underwrite this opportunity and make this event accessible to all members of our Rivers community.
RAFFLE
Raffle prizes will include concert tickets, museum passes, vacation stays, and more (stay tuned for more info). Raffle tickets are available for $10 per ticket. On the day of the event, you place your raffle ticket(s) into the box of the prize(s) you wish to win.
HEADS OR TAILS – A Holiday Pops tradition!
For $10, you can purchase a Heads or Tails necklace to join this exciting game. Participants with the necklaces are asked to stand up and choose to put their hands on their head or their tail. Each turn, a coin is flipped and those who chose the winning side (heads or tails) continue until there is one winner left standing—a favorite tradition for Holiday Pops aficionados!
SPONSORSHIPS
Becoming a sponsor for Holiday Pops is more than just a way to support the arts at Rivers and RSC—it’s a commitment to prioritizing world-class faculty, creating opportunities for all students to access our programs, and to ensuring experiences like these continue to shape our next generation of artists, scholars, and leaders. Your sponsorship is a 100% tax-deductible donation in addition to your ticket purchase and includes a listing in the evening program book (deadline for program book inclusion is November 24, 2025).
