brings great knowledge and dedication to The New York Pops. Of the orchestra and its founder Skitch Henderson, Mr. Griner remarks: “I have come to realize how fundamentally important musical
integrity is to this marvelous group of professionals, and how much Skitch Henderson helped shape that part of its character.”
