About
The Golden State Pops Orchestra (GSPO) is an American symphony pops orchestra located in the greater Los Angeles region of Southern California, with performances at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center. The orchestra is part of the Entertainment in Music Association, which also includes the Los Angeles Film Orchestra and Overture Youth Orchestra LA. The GSPO was the resident orchestra of the Warner Grand Theatre for 20 years, an Art Deco movie palace built by Warner Brothers Studios in 1931. The orchestra performs a wide variety of musical repertoire, including video game soundtracks, classical, Broadway, and pop music. However, the primary focus of the GSPO remains film music, a specialty of the orchestra since its founding in 2002. The Golden State Pops Orchestra is composed of professional freelance musicians from around the Los Angeles area.
