Artistic Excellence. Pittsburgh’s own.
About us
The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, known for its artistic excellence for more than 120 years, 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. Past music directors have included Fritz Reiner (1938-1948), William Steinberg (1952-1976), André Previn (1976-1984), Lorin Maazel (1984-1996) and Mariss Jansons (1995-2004). This tradition of outstanding music directors was furthered in fall 2008, when Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck became music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony. The orchestra has been at the forefront of championing new American works, and gave the first performance of Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 1 “Jeremiah” in 1944 and John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine in 1986. The Pittsburgh Symphony has a long and illustrious history in the areas of recordings and radio concerts. Its “Pittsburgh Live!” series with Reference Recordings has resulted in back-to-back Grammy Award nominations in 2015 and 2016. As early as 1936, the Pittsburgh Symphony radio broadcasts aired nationally and in the late 1970s it made the ground breaking PBS series “Previn and the Pittsburgh.” Since 1982, the orchestra has been heard through national network radio broadcasts on Public Radio International, produced by Classical WQED-FM, made possible by the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. At home in historic Heinz Hall, the Pittsburgh Symphony offers a variety of musical experiences, including its BNY Mellon Grand Classics and PNC Pops series, FUSE@PSO series, Fiddlesticks Family Concerts series, specials, and numerous community engagement and education concerts throughout the region. With a long and distinguished history of touring both domestically and overseas since 1900 — including international tours to Europe, the Far East and South America—the Pittsburgh Symphony continues to be critically acclaimed as one of the world’s greatest orchestras.

An unforgettable night with Yunchan Lim! Lim made his PSO debut with Rachmaninoff’s powerful (and famously challenging) Second Piano Concerto. Also featured in the program: Conductor Pablo Heras-Casado led a "symphonic poem" by Debussy and the playful and theatrical "Three-Cornered Hat" by Manuel De Falla. As always, thank you to our exceptional PSO musicians 🎶 Visit pittsburghsymphony.org for our spring lineup of Grand Classics, including Bernstein & Sibelius (March 15-17), Hilary Hahn plays Carmen Fantasy (March 22-24), and Beethoven's 9th Symphony (April 25-28). See you at Heinz Hall! #pittsburghevents #pittsburghdowntown #pittsburgharts

🎶 To life! 🎶 Fiddler on the Roof in Concert was a triumph — a joyful fusion of music + theater with the Pittsburgh CLO and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. A review highlight from Sharon Eberson of onStage Pittsburgh: "It takes a balancing act of faith, talent and chutzpah to create a nontraditional Fiddler on the Roof, a concert version, featuring dozens of musicians and chorus members, a cast of two dozen actors, a Fab Five of The Tamburitzans and one virtuoso fiddler on the roof. "The latter, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s Jeremy Black, symbolizes that balance of talent and realized ambition, stationed above the swirling, soaring action of Fiddler on the Roof in Concert, a resplendent re-staging of the musical at Heinz Hall this weekend."
