For nearly 130 years, the two-time 2018 GRAMMY® Award-winning Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has been our region’s premiere professional orchestra. Located at Heinz Hall in the heart of the Cultural District, the PSO’s vision resonates: Great Music in Every Life.
Music is a universal language that touches everyone in a uniquely personal way. With 125+ concerts including classics, pops, specials, students, and summer series, there is something for everyone to experience!
Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra
The orchestra works to engage, enrich, and inspire through unparalleled live music experiences.
Their influence extends far beyond the doors of Heinz Hall. The PSO generates over $125 million of economic impact. Every dollar you invest returns $4 right back to our Western Pennsylvanian region, supporting 1,900 local jobs. The orchestra accounts for over 50% of Cultural District visitors, actively working towards audience recovery and revitalizing downtown business. Their learning programs also reach over 18,000 students from over 145 schools across 13 counties every year so they can hear the PSO for free. Plus, the PSO musicians also connect with over 200,000 additional audience members in other cultural activities outside of Heinz Hall.
Funds help deliver unparalleled live performances, free learning programs for Pittsburgh schools, transformational community partnerships, and representing Pittsburgh to millions across the world via tours and recordings – it all adds up to donors like you. You make Great Music possible in Pittsburgh.
