On September 25, 2017, The New York Pops returned to Feinstein's/54 Below for a cabaret performance starring the Emmy Award-winning TV and Broadway sensation Lucie Arnaz.
"The New York Pops annual cabaret evening is one of our most intimate and exciting events each year," said Steven Reineke. "The event raises money for our vital music education programs, which reach thousands of New York City children each year. I couldn't believe how electric Lucie Arnaz's performance was when I saw her last, and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us in September! This is an event that is certainly not to be missed!"
All proceeds support The New York Pops' PopsEd music programs, which reach more than 5,000 New York City students each year.
