WELCOME
Thank you for your support during the 2006-2007 concert season. It was our first full year as the Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra. Along with our new name, we experienced a different type of scheduling. Our concert year now goes from October through April, with our final concert being the Fourth of July performance in Tracy Park.
Our concerts feature the very best in classical and pops music performed by an accomplished ensemble of fifty local and regional musicians. We were excited to welcome some very talented young people to our orchestra. As you have heard, our musicians are making wonderful sounds and improve with each passing year. The concerts are entertaining and suitable for all ages. We were quite pleased with the “Peter and the Wolf” concert aimed at the younger set.
Not only can you enjoy the great orchestral music from the best of Broadway to the sensuous sound of the great masters of all time, you learn about the works from the informative comments of Maestro Carl Daehler.
Our outstanding musicians,many of whom are your neighbors, friends, and teachers, are joined by accomplished soloists and guest performers from the tri-state area.
The PSO Board has worked hard to bring to Southern Ohio a performing organization worthy of being called a symphony orchestra. Additionally, we from time to time have the added pleasures of the Portsmouth Community Chorale and Director, Charles Varney.
We earnestly seek your support and your subscription to the 2007-2008 season so that you can enjoy the many benefits of being a supporter of one of the Portsmouth area’s outstanding organizations.
Richard Grimm
President, Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra Board.
