A retrospective look at the Boston Pops

Formed in 1881 by Boston Symphony Orchestra founder Henry Lee Higginson, the Boston Pops performances were intended to be performed in the summer and were to be 'concerts of a lighter kind of music,' according to the BSO. Pictured: The annual July 4 concert at the Hatch Shell draws a large crowd of concertgoers, many of whom camp out overnight.
