Something old, something new … that’s what you will find in our exciting new season at PCO! We are really looking forward to playing some of the greatest pieces in the literature – as well as works new to us, by well-known composers. Our soloists have chosen outstanding concertos, and of course our Young Artist Winner winner will add a surprise in May! The PCO is a wonderful group of very talented musicians who excel at expressing the music in everything they play. Come and share the music, the excitement, and the energy of the PCO!

PCO performs Ippolotov-Ivanov’s “Procession of the Sardar”, Holst’s “Jupiter Op. 32”, Borodin’s “In the Steppes of Central Asia” and “Polovetsyan March” as well as Prokofiev’s “Piano Concerto No. 3” with Young Artist Competition Winner, Max Hammond, under the baton of Music Director Beth Pflueger.

As you deck the halls with boughs of holly and brave the holiday crowds (and Internet), please consider giving a year-end donation to Pasadena Community Orchestra so that we can continue to offer free concerts to the public.

Thanks to your support, PCO has been able to, 1 – engage excellent guest musicians for our concerts, and to continue our relationship with our wonderful Music Director, Bethany Pflueger. 2 – Rent our lovely concert site with comfortable seating and spacious parking, and to provide a light reception after our concerts. 3 – To rent new and unusual music beyond the public domain.

We at PCO appreciate your continued support and thank you for coming to our concerts. This gives us the opportunity to bring beautiful music to life and to give it to others.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Eli Broad
