Ever since 1995, when Keith Lockhart was named the 20th conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra, he has significantly expanded the activities and appeal of the orchestra. Over his tenure exceeding 25 years, he has conducted the Boston Pops in more than 2,000 concerts, introduced the innovative JazzFest and EdgeFest series, featuring prominent jazz and indie artists performing with the Pops, and embarked on 45 national tours and four international tours. The annual July Fourth Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular under his direction draws over half a million live spectators and millions more through television and webcasts.

Lockhart has conducted numerous high-profile events including the pregame show of Super Bowl XXXVI, the 2008 NBA finals, the 2013 Boston Red Sox Ring Ceremony, and Game 2 of the 2018 World Series.
