• Ticket Takers and Ushers are a key part of our Summer POPS concert series and are responsible for taking tickets at the entrance to the venue and directing patrons to their seats, accurately and graciously.

Development & Outreach Volunteers

Development and Outreach Volunteers assist in the implementation of our development programs including involvement with special events and audience outreach.

Marketing Table Volunteers

Marketing Table Volunteers assist in promoting Pasadena Symphony and POPS programs at public events. They assist in answering questions about upcoming programs, events and ticket offers and assist in selling concert related souvenirs as needed.

Youth Program Volunteers

Musical Instrument Petting Zoo Volunteers – An essential part of our education and outreach efforts, volunteers assist in the set-up and oversight of musical instruments displayed for an interactive educational experience for children of all ages. Volunteers must have an interest and willingness to work with young children and parents. Knowledge of a musical instrument or instruments is helpful but not essential. A very fun and exciting volunteer experience.

At this time we do not have any openings.
