North State Symphony Pops (NSS Pops) delivers accessible, engaging orchestral experiences rooted in the Northern California community.

The 25th anniversary season for 2025–2026 features invigorating programs including Mendelssohn’s Scottish, Frankenstein, Billy the Kid, and Brilliant Bartók, performed across iconic venues like Red Bluff’s State Theatre, Cascade Theatre in Redding, and Chico’s Laxson Auditorium.
