July 4
TD PAVILION
The Philly POPS kicks off Philly’s July 4 concert celebration at the TD Pavilion at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts.
The POPS takes the stage for its 5th year as part of the July 4 concert, this year with Philly native and the season 20 winner of The Voice, Cam Anthony. The performance will feature The Philly POPS BIG Band conducted by Artistic Director for Jazz Terell Stafford, as well as dancers from the Jasmine Yahn’e School of Dance and a choir from the storied Mother Bethel AME church. The BIG Band will perform originally arranged pieces like “Feeling Good,” and the song cycle of “What’s Going On” and “Mercy, Mercy Me.” The night concludes with performances from superstars Flo Rida and Bebe Rexha, along with a fireworks display.
Cam Anthony grew up in Philadelphia and found his voice singing at Crossroads Missionary Baptist Church in North Philadelphia. After a video of him singing a Bruno Mars song went viral at age 11, he’s since opened for Patti LaBelle, performed on the Ellen Degeneres show, and performed at the White House’s Easter Egg Roll—later signing with Dr. Dre at age 12. Cam appeared on the 20th season of NBC’s The Voice, where he was chosen to be on Blake Shelton’s team—winning the season at just 19 years old.
Comcast NBCUniversal is the Presenting Sponsor of The Philly POPS Salute Series. These free celebrations of community and tradition, which honor our shared commitment to service on holidays of American tradition, also rely on the generous support of Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development, Wawa Welcome America, The City of Philadelphia, Independence Blue Cross, The Presser Foundation, Visit Philadelphia, and Aqua America.
