H.J. Heinz Company Audience of the Future

Over the course of the school year, this award-winning program invites local high school students to plan a Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra concert. Students will attend Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra rehearsals, select program repertoire, promote the concert, sell tickets, work concert production, and create multimedia for promotion and documentation. Students are coached by staff members, and proceeds from the concert benefit the music programs of the participating schools.

 EQT Student Side-By-Side

This exciting program gives music students in grades nine through 12 the experience of playing "side-by-side" with their Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra counterparts. Additional program highlights include sectionals and workshops with Pittsburgh Symphony musicians and rehearsals with Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Resident Conductor Lawrence Loh.
