Nero led the Philly Pops until 2013, exiting his leadership role when the orchestra said it could no longer afford him.
Peter Nero, leader of the Philly Pops, smiles during a sound check on a stage at the foot of the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps, Monday, July 4, 2005, in Philadelphia.Peter Nero, a Grammy-winning pianist who interpreted pop songs through classical and jazz forms and served as the Philly Pops' conductor for more than three decades, has died. Nero was 89.
Recruited by Philadelphia concert promoter Moe Septee, Nero started the Philly Pops orchestra in 1979, the year Arthur Fiedler died. Fiedler is credited with virtually inventing the modern version of the pops orchestra in Boston, and Nero hoped to rival it in popularity.Nero's orchestra wasn't as prominent as Boston's, but it did tout routine sellouts in Philadelphia, no doubt helped by Nero's lively playing style and warm stage presence.
He led the Philly Pops until 2013, exiting his leadership role when the orchestra said it could no longer afford him. Nero earned Grammy Awards in 1961 for best new artist and in 1962 for best performance by an orchestra or instrumentalist for his record "The Colorful Peter Nero." Nero also wrote the score for the 1963 Jane Fonda film "Sunday in New York" and made an appearance in the movie.
