Kimmel Center Presents has booked its first-ever concert in the big hall in the month of August: the Boston Pops plays its Kimmel debut with conductor Keith Lockhart Aug. 21 in Verizon Hall. Joining them are Broadway singers Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley in a program of Broadway tunes. The Pops also excerpts music from films. Kimmel Center Presents has never before booked a concert in Verizon in August, a spokesman says. Too many people away at the shore, they’ve feared, but maybe the Boston Pops name is enough to draw them back to terra firma. On the program: the “Prelude” to Ben-Hur by Miklós Rózsa (pictured).
