We told you it was something we've never done before. 🎮

Every great season deserves a sendoff. This is ours. 🎶

Our concertmaster Ching-Yi Lin takes the spotlight for Piazzolla's Four Seasons in Buenos Aires before we close with Vivaldi's Gloria, one of the most joyful, triumphant pieces ever written, featuring our the PSO Chorus, guest choirs, and soloists Emily Yocum Black and Natalie Krupansky filling the hall with something that can only be described as a celebration.

That's our Signature Series! But trust us, we're just getting started. Stay tuned. 👀

200 years later, those four notes still stop the world. 🎵

We're marking the 200th anniversary of Beethoven's death the only way we know how... by performing his Fifth Symphony live, the way it was meant to shake a room.

But first, three symphonic poems that tell stories without saying a word. Tchaikovsky. Mascagni. Smetana. Music that paints, mourns, and flows before Beethoven brings the thunder.
