Pops on Letterman

Wondering how the Boston Pops could send 13 players to the "Late Show with David Letterman" Thursday for an appearance with My Morning Jacket when they’ve got a regularly scheduled concert - M.I.T. night, no less - in Symphony Hall that night?

Easy. They're sending players from the larger Esplanade Orchestra.

Expect to see, in formal concert attire, the following players with conductor Keith Lockhart: On violins, Lisa Crockett, Jennifer Elowitch, Dorothy Han, Clayton Hoener, Joseph Scheer, Karma Tomm, and Gregory Vitale. On cellos, Theresa Borsodi and Ronald Lowry. Also look for percussionist Patrick Hollenbeck, French horn player Kevin Owen, harpist Anna Reinersman (pictured below), and Brad Hatfield on synthesizer.
