THIS CONCERT HAS BEEN CANCELED.
Due to the State of Maine’s “Stay Healthy at Home” mandate, the CDC’s guidelines on social distancing, and in an effort to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), we will now be canceling all Portland Symphony Orchestra concerts as well as select events (listed below) through May 17, 2020. Learn more here.
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s the Portland Symphony Orchestra! Calling all superheroes and super-villains. Make sure to hide your secret identity and come join forces at Merrill Auditorium. Hear your favorite crime fighting theme songs as your PSO plays for truth and justice!
Discovery Concerts bring the whole family together to enjoy the music of the PSO. Concerts are approximately one-hour long and take the audience on a mind-expanding and educational journey with the full orchestra! Doors open at 1 PM for an hour of games, Podium Hero conducting lessons, and lots more musical fun. Costumes are encouraged!
DESIGNED FOR AGES 4-12, BUT ENJOYABLE FOR ALL!
