Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra

The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has been a vital part of Pittsburgh’s heritage for more than 100 years. With its noble history of the finest conductors and musicians and its strong commitment to artistic excellence, audiences around the world have claimed the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra as their orchestra of choice. In September 2008, the PSO welcomed its ninth Music Director, Manfred Honeck. The PSO earned critical acclaim throughout the world during its 32 international tours including 17 European tours, eight trips to the Far East, two to South America, and in 2004, a performance at the Vatican for Pope John Paul II’s Silver Jubilee celebration.

The Pittsburgh Symphony tours with a repertoire that includes both classical and pops, and offers programs with full orchestra or chamber orchestra. Residency activities include pre-concert lectures, master classes, outreach and educational activities, workshops and chamber music performances.
