Whether performing classical masterworks, introducing music by modern-day masters, or hosting area schoolchildren at their first live symphony performance, the Princeton Symphony Orchestra is a cultural centerpiece of the Princeton community and one of the state’s finest musical organizations. The orchestra has been guided by an extraordinary Board of Trustees and is grateful for the vision of its early Trustees, including Frank E. Taplin, Jr., Edward T. Cone, William F. Scheide, Reid White, Nathaniel Burt, and Judy Thomson. Over the course of its 30-year history, the PSO’s leadership has invested in the artistic excellence of its orchestral, chamber, and pops concert offerings. Under the auspices of BRAVO!, the PSO also produces wide-reaching and innovative education programs carried out in partnerships with local schools, arts organizations, and other community agencies.
The PSO is proud to have been awarded the New Jersey State Council on the Arts’ highest honors—Citation of Excellence and designation as a Major Arts Institution. The only professional orchestra to make its home in Princeton, the PSO performs at beautiful Richardson Auditorium on the campus of Princeton University. Founded in 1980 by Portia Sonnenfeld, the PSO was led for 22 years by Music Director Mark Laycock, who oversaw a period of artistic growth and achievement marked by innovative programming. In June 2009, the board appointed Rossen Milanov to be the PSO’s third Music Director. Mr. Milanov is a gifted and accomplished conductor with outstanding musical credentials, energy, and creativity.
