Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Returns
Pops Concert on July 16; Classical Concert on July 17!
Garrett Lakes Arts Festival (GLAF) is very proud to announce the return of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra for a fourth summer! With thanks to Wisp Resort for its superb accommodations for the musicians and for providing the performance venue, these concerts feature the exciting young talent of Lawrence Loh conducting the orchestra on Friday night, July 16 in a Pops Concert as well as Saturday night, July 17 in a Classical Concert, both at 7:30 pm in the Lodge at Wisp Resort. Tickets for each concert are $35 for adults, $5 for students, and are free to children 5 and younger (but tickets must be reserved).
The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has been a vital part of the city of Pittsburgh’s heritage for more than 100 years. Beginning in the early 1900s, the PSO confirmed its ranking as a world-class orchestra, earning critical acclaim for its fine conductors and musicians and its strong commitment to artistic quality and excellence.
Starting with the 2007-2008 season, Lawrence Loh was promoted to Resident Conductor of the PSO. His ability to engage the audience in the music was especially evident last summer when he conducted the pops concert. An open rehearsal will be offered Saturday morning for Garrett Mentors, and there will be a pre-concert lecture held Saturday evening from 6:30 – 7 pm, prior to the Classical Concert. Call the GLAF Office for reservations for this lecture as space is limited.
