    “I adore this orchestra. It is such a jewel -- every one of its facets just glows.”
    Yo-Yo Ma, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

    For more than 115 years, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (PSO) has been an essential part of Pittsburgh’s cultural landscape. The PSO, known for its artistic excellence, is credited with a rich history of the world’s finest conductors and musicians, and a strong commitment to the Pittsburgh region and its citizens. This tradition was furthered in fall 2008, when Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck assumed the position of Music Director with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. In February 2012, Honeck agreed to extend his contract for the second time, until the end of the 2020 season.
