Stockton Symphony is coming to the Atherton Auditorium for the third time this season with its Pops 3 performance. 

Pops stands for popular and has a broad range of themes. 

The Pops series runs from October through May. 

This time around, illusionist and magician Michael Grandinetti will take center stage. 

Grandinetti is known for performing in the most challenging environments imaginable like baseball stadiums and basketball arenas.

Bringing some magic to Stockton, the audience will enjoy music during his performance. 

“Illusions and acts will include dividing an audience member in half, a mid-air levitation, walking through a brick wall, and many other amazing surprises,” said Peter Jaffe, music director and conductor for the Stockton Symphony.

During Grandinetti’s performance, the orchestra will be playing music from “In the Hall of the Mountain King” to selections from the “Star Wars” movies.

Tickets to the 2:30 p.m. Feb. 23 event are available for purchase at the College Box Office, located adjacent to the Auditorium in the Locke Center.
