July 4th with Leroy Anderson and the Boston Pops is as much fun as an Independence Day cookout and fireworks! The music of America's most popular light music composer and arranger sets the tone for every celebration. The one-hour special is hosted by conductor Keith Lockhart, with commentary from Seiji Ozawa, John Williams, and archival audio of Leroy Anderson himself.
