Guest Conductors

This year each major concert will feature a highly-qualified guest conductor who will deliver a dynamic, artistically excellent performance as an audition for the position of Music Director. The recruitment committee will be guided in part by the feedback received from the audience. Thus we chose the theme, Shape the Future, to exemplify the value and role that YOU play in shaping the direction the PGSO takes into the future with its new artistic leader.

We encourage you to attend all the concerts this season and then tell us which guest conductor you would like as our new Maestro. Evaluation forms will be available at each concert.
