Parents, please consider donating prizes! We are looking for items that you know will motivate your child to practice, such as a $5 gift card to Graeter's Ice Cream, iTunes, or the movies. Prizes can be turned into your private teacher or the PYCO Music Store.

BEETHOVEN Violin Concerto
MAHLER Das Lied von der Erde, The Song of the Earth
Two genius composers come head-to-head as Music Director Manfred Honeck conducts Beethoven and Mahler. Following her superb February 2018 PSO debut, Norwegian sensation Vilde Frang returns to Heinz Hall to perform Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, a stunning display for both soloist and orchestra. Baritone superstar Matthias Goerne and tenor Eric Cutler join Honeck for Mahler’s “Song of the Earth.” It is from this posture of the heart that a musical journey through life’s most exultant and deeply introspective moments comes to life in one of Mahler’s most powerful masterpieces.
