The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has been a vital part of the city of Pittsburgh's heritage for more than 100 years, a spokesperson said.

"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," the spokesperson said.

Loh was promoted to resident conductor of the PSO in the 2007-2008 season. An open rehearsal will be offered Saturday morning for Garrett Mentors and other children accompanied by parents or chaperones. (Persons who wish to attend this event may call the GLAF office at 301-387-3082 to reserve a seat.)

Pittsburgh Symphony 'Pops' Review - Wisp Resort

I had the pleasure (and luck) of grabbing a last-minute ticket to the Friday night show of the Pittsburgh Symphony at Wisp Resort. Marvin Hamlisch, who is incredibly well acclaimed, had the audience rolling with laughter from the first moment of the show. The music was incredible, and the sun setting over Marsh Mountain provided a beautiful twilight as the Symphony played. Congrats to GLAF and thanks to all of the sponsors who made it possible to have them here again!

Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra at Wisp Resort July 19

I got an email from friends at GLAF (Garrett Lakes Arts Festival), asking to help get the word out regarding Saturday's concert at Wisp Resort. Friday night is sold out but tickets are still available for Saturday's performance. Call GLAF at 301-387-3082 or visit their website.

Some more info about the performance Saturday, from the GLAF website:

The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has been a vital part of the city of Pittsburgh's heritage for more than 100 years. The PSO prides itself in artistic excellence, a rich history of the world's finest conductors and musicians, and a strong commitment to the Pittsburgh region. Garrett Lakes Arts Festival and the Deep Creek Lake community embraced the world-class orchestra with grateful enthusiasm, at its local debut at the Wisp Resort in 2007. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra will return to Garrett County July 18 and 19, 2008. Principal Pops Conductor Marvin Hamlisch will preside over the Friday, July 18 concert. Associate Conductor Lawrence Loh will lead the orchestra in a program of classical repertoire Saturday, July 19. Both performances will take place at the Lodge at Wisp Resort, which has so generously stepped up and offered the rooms we needed as a part of their season sponsorship. Without Wisps' support, these concerts just would not be happening. Thank you Wisp!
