PSO Youth Concerts spark full-orchestra excitement in their 8-12 year old audiences by providing a new acoustical approach to the subjects they’re covering in school. Strong curriculum connections are bolstered by 50-minute performances designed to support acquisition of the academic skills set by Maine Learning Result standards. That focus is complemented by the investigation of styles and structure that can inspire a lifelong love of musical education and experiences. For more information or to schedule your school field trip, email PSO Director of Education and Community Development John Elliott at jelliott@portlandsymphony.org or call (207) 773-6128 ext 166.

Sadly, due to safety concerns, the PSO won’t be producing a Youth Concert in the 22-23 school year.
