Welcome to the Maine POPS Holiday 2020 Concert !
Each year, the Maine POPS partners with St. Luke’s Cathedral in Portland, Maine and the West Falmouth Baptist Church to produce holiday benefit concerts for local charities.
Please help your neighbors in need!
St. Luke’s Food Pantry
West Falmouth Baptist Church School Pantry program
The Maine POPS Concert Band is a 501(c)3 education charity.
This is our first virtual concert, created in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Many thanks to the members of the Band, the director, and the volunteers who made this happen. Please let us know what you think!
April 28, 2:30pm Cape Elizabeth High School Auditorium, $10 /$7 seniors / students free
Join the Maine POPS at St. Luke’s Cathedral as we ring in the coming holiday season!
This is a *FREE* benefit concert, with all donations going to help St. Luke’s with their ministry in the community. We encourage you to support this wonderful work generously.
Wednesday, December 12, 7:30pm
Suggested donations of $10 on the door, all graciously accepted!
Fresh off of our Fall Concert, the Maine POPS is ready to make you feel all warm and fuzzy for the chilly winter days ahead! We are excited to bring you a collection of festive favorites, Christmas classics, Hanukkah highlights, and other songs sure to bring cheer to your holiday season.
We are lucky to have personal connections to two amazing holiday venues: St. Luke’s Cathedral in Portland, and West Falmouth Baptist Church. The Very Reverend Dr. Ben Shambaugh, Dean of St. Luke’s Cathedral, plays tuba. Pastor Mac Ray of West Falmouth Baptist Church is the husband of Diane Ray, one of our talented flute players.
We provide concerts to both of these venues on a benefit basis, with donations being taken. These benefit St. Luke’s ministries in the community, and WFBC’s chosen charity this year is The Root Cellar, a Portland-based non-profit organization committed to bringing enriching services to neighboring youth and their families. We encourage you to help us support the wonderful work that both churches do within their communities.
As always, we love playing to a good crowd. Please bring your friends, family, neighbors, and anyone else you can think of to come and share the fun! Both concerts are free admission.
You can find the Maine POPS celebrating the upcoming holidays at the following:
Sun. Dec. 10th, 2:30pm – St. Luke’s Cathedral (143 State St, Portland)
Wed. Dec. 13th, 7:00pm – West Falmouth Baptist Church (18 Mountain Rd, Falmouth)
