Last night, under the banner "Pittsburgh Symphony and You: Extraordinary Together," the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra announced its 125th anniversary season that will feature special collaborations, artist debuts, world premieres, Pittsburgh premieres, new commissions, a new Steinway piano and significant Pittsburgh firsts.
The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra's 2020-21 season will be the 13th under the direction of its Music Director Manfred Honeck, the first under the direction of Principal Pops Conductor Byron Stripling, and the 125th in the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra's celebrated history. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is the sixth oldest major orchestra in the United States. "This great orchestra is known throughout the world for its rich history of the world's best musicians and conductors, as well as its deep commitment to the people of the Pittsburgh region. It is only fitting that the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra celebrates its 125th anniversary season with significant partnerships, collaborations, premieres and debuts that extend and amplify our distinguished history," said Melia Tourangeau, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. "This anniversary is a time for intensifying our connections to our community in vibrant ways.
