He previously served as Vice President of Artistic and Orchestra Operations at the Buffalo Philharmonic. He holds degrees from the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University and James Madison University.

Pope-McEntire will oversee stage management, personnel, the music library, and community engagement. He previously served as Executive Director of the Chamber Orchestra of the Springs in Colorado Springs.
