David Yellen/RACHAEL RAY  | |
Acclaimed Emmy Award-winning television host and best-selling cookbook author Rachael Ray will be the celebrity guest conductor for the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod 25th Anniversary TD Bank Pops by the Sea concert.

Credited with getting America back in the kitchen with her easy approach to cooking, Ray takes the same philosophy - finding simple solutions to everyday problems - beyond the kitchen and into all aspects of the show.
In August 2009, the Rachael Ray show won the Outstanding Talk Show-Entertainment Emmy® for the second year in a row and scored three other Daytime Emmy nominations. Adding to the list of achievements, Television Week named her "Syndication Personality of the Year" in 2007 and Business Week honored her as one of the "Best Leaders of 2006."
The TD Bank Pops by the Sea concert is scheduled for August 1, 2010, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the Hyannis Village Green, featuring the only Cape Cod appearance of Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra.
