Please join us for our upcoming Spring Pops Concert. With a fun and energetic program that features favorites across the entertainment medium including Broadway hits, classical pieces from ballet and opera as well as instantly recognizable themes from film and television, this performance truly represents both “Stage and Screen”.

Inspiring the greater Lowell community with quality musical performances since 1987, the Lowell Philharmonic Orchestra continues to provide audiences with lively classical and pops music each season. We offer casual, lighthearted concerts, making audiences of all ages comfortable and engaged.

Comprised of passionate semi-professional and amateur musicians, the LPO not only offers an outlet for local talent, but fosters future generations of musicians and music lovers by actively encouraging area youth to become involved with local music. The LPO enriches youth through the appreciation of concerts, skill development, and showcasing local young musicians’ excellence.

Our 2018 Spring Pops Concert will feature the winner of this year’s Jeanne Selander Memorial Concerto Competition. In this competition, young musicians through the age of 18 who live or go to school within 75 miles of Lowell audition for the opportunity to perform as a soloist with the orchestra. Our 2018 Concerto Competition winner Avik Sarkar is a seventeen-year-old pianist, cellist & composer, who is currently a junior at Buckingham Browne & Nichols (BB&N), Cambridge, MA. He is 2018-2020 Lang Lang International Music Foundation Young Scholar. He studies piano with Mana Tokuno and Alexander Korsantia at the New England Conservatory (NEC) and has been a student of Niva Fried for several years. Avik has also won top prizes at several international and national piano competitions, including Future Stars International, The American Prize, Forte International Music, New York International Artists, Louisiana International, and Hartford Chopin International Piano competitions. He has won first prize at NEPTA, MTNA, MMTA, and Steinway Society of Massachusetts piano competitions multiple times. He has performed in recitals at Cadogan Hall in London, UK, Symphony Hall in Boston, Carnegie Hall in New York City, and was heard on WGBH Radio, NPR, Boston. Avik enjoys bringing music to the community and raised over $5,000 for refugees in the Boston area by organizing a classical music benefit concert. Aside from music, he enjoys competition math, writing poetry and watercolor painting. Avik will be performing the 1st movement of Chopin's 1st piano concerto with the orchestra.
