Join the Portland Symphony Orchestra and the Portland Public Library for a conversation exploring the stories behind the PSO’s opening concert, Resurgam: American Folktales & Hymns. Featuring representatives from local organizations, including the Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association, this panel will examine the city of Portland’s remarkable resilience, and the people, history, and traditions that continue to shape our community. Learn how these themes inspired the concert program, including the Great Fire of 1886, and discover the powerful connections between Portland’s past, present, and the music that brings its story to life.
