Plano Symphony Orchestra Announces 41st Season
The Plano Symphony Orchestra (PSO) has announced the concerts in its 41st season, Out of This World. Season highlights include the ¡VIVA MEXICO! concert celebrating Mexican music and dance on Mexican Independence Day, a nostalgic viewing of the classic movie Ghostbusters screened live as the PSO performs Elmer Bernstein's Grammy-nominated score, and a concert with multiple Grammy Award-winning jazz artist Branford Marsalis. A variety of season subscription packages, ranging from $92-$466, are available now for purchasing. Current subscribers may renew by mail, by calling 972-473-7262, or visiting the PSO's website, planosymphony.org. New subscribers may call to select available seats. The 2023/2024 Season is sponsored, in part, by The City of Plano, TACA, Texas Commission on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and The City of Richardson.
In addition to the eight subscription concerts, the PSO will perform a special concert on the campus of Southern Methodist University at Caruth Auditorium. The PSO is also proud to bring back the ever-popular Patriotic Pops! on July 4, 2023. Conducted by Héctor Guzmán, the concert will feature guest soloists Eduardo Rojas, piano, and Charles Billingsley, vocals, and include a salute to all branches of our armed forces.
"How can we top this current season? A huge task indeed," says Maestro Héctor Guzmán, "but the Plano Symphony Orchestra continues the legacy of amazing programs year after year, and our 2023/2024 Season promises to be another spectacular one. We cannot wait to share this beautiful new season with you. See you at the Symphony!"
Plano Symphony Orchestra Executive Director Gregory Patterson says, "The PSO is on the move, and our 41st season demonstrates the great musical versatility of the orchestra, from being able to perform a complex work such as Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5 to the beloved score of the hit movie Ghostbusters. A real highlight of the season is our collaboration with renowned jazz artist Branford Marsalis who will be making his only North Texas appearance with the PSO. We are so pleased to celebrate the beauty of Mexican heritage in music and dance with VIVA MEXICO," Patterson concludes. "It truly is a season that features something for everyone, highlighted by a first-time concert on the SMU campus." Read More…
