Soon after, he would dedicate most of his work to foster classical music in Puerto Rico. In 1957, he organized the first annual [[Casals Festival]], where he invited classical musicians to perform several concerts to Puerto Ricans and tourists alike. It was during this multi-week festival that state legislator Ernesto Ramos Antonini presented a bill which would create the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra, receiving much praise and support from both the public and other state legislators. After the law was signed by then Governor of Puerto Rico [[Luis Muñoz Marín]], the task of organizing the orchestra was given to the same group which organized the Casals Festival. The first live concert was performed on November 6, 1958 in [[Mayagüez, Puerto Rico\|Mayagüez]], hometown of Don Pablo Casals’s mother.<ref>{{Cite web\|title=Orquesta Sinfónica de Puerto Rico\|url=https://enciclopediapr.org/content/orquesta-sinfonica-de-puerto-rico/\|access-date=2022-01-15\|website=Enciclopedia de Puerto Rico\|language=es}}</ref> The PRSO has hosted various artists, including [[Plácido Domingo]], [[Luciano Pavarotti]], [[Justino Díaz]], [[Kiri Te Kanawa]], and [[Alicia de Larrocha]], among others, and has performed in various Central and South American countries as well as in the [[United States]]. In addition to its 48-week regular season, the PRSO also organizes several concerts and activities for the purpose of fulfilling Don Casals’s dream of fostering classical music in Puerto Rico. These activities include: ''Conoce tu Orquesta'' (“Know Your Orchestra”), ''La Sinfónica en tu Pueblo'' (“The Orchestra In Your Town”), ''La Sinfónica en las Universidades'' (“The Orchestra in Universities”), and ''La Sinfónica en los Residenciales'' (“The Orchestra In The Projects”; i.e. [[Public housing in Puerto Rico\|public housing]]), as well as performing in the annual Casals Festival.
