That’s probably because they are different names for the same orchestra. Eastman-Rochester Pops is one of several names the organization has used from time to time.
Thanks Stan I wasn’t aware of that. Problem solved.

They also used Eastman-Rochester Orchestra. George Eastman - the founder of Kodak, headquartered in Rochester - put up the money for the orchestra and for the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester. It surely wouldn’t surprise you learn there was a close connection between the Orchestra and the School.
