The season opens on November 5 with “Welcome Back” which pairs Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony with guest soloist Snow Bai performing a Canadian composition on the traditional Chines erhu.
A tradition returns on December 10 with “A Holiday Welcome” of classical and popular seasonal music featuring baritone James Westman.
Celebrate Valentine’s Day a little early with “An Intimate Welcome” on February 4 – a concert of smaller ensemble delights.
On April 1 the PSO is ready to “Welcome Spring” with Sibelius and Tchaikovsky, featuring virtuoso pianist Alexander Panizza.
To cap off the season the PSO will share the stage with Poet Laureate Sarah Lewis for “Welcome to the Dance” – an evening of words and music including “Symphonic Dances from West Side Story.”
All performances are at 7:30 p.m. and take place at Showplace Performance Centre.
Season subscriptions are now available with prices ranging from $105-$235 depending on seating and only $10 per concert for student subscriptions. Regular single tickets will go on sale in mid-July with prices from $33 - $55 and single student tickets at only $12.
A new initiative for this season is the “Rush Ticket” program. On concert day only, as availability allows, seats will be available online for only $20.
Contact the PSO at 705-742-1992 for tickets.

Peterborough Symphony Concluding 50th Season With Out-of-this-World Journey
/On Saturday, May 27th at a spectacular season finale concert sponsored by Scotiabank, the Peterborough Symphony Orchestra will take audience members on a vivid musical adventure.
Through the music of Grieg, Liadov and Stravinsky, the classical elements of earth, water and fire will be explored before leaving Terra firma for outer space. Holst’s large-scale orchestral suite The Planets will be the guide for a melodic tour of the galaxy featuring the Women’s Chorus of the Peterborough Singers.
This concert marks the first time in over a decade that the PSO and members of the Peterborough Singers have performed together. Both organizations are looking forward to collaborating again.
General admission tickets for The Planets are available from the Showplace Performance Centre box office at a cost of $38.50 for adults, $10 for students. Visit the box office in-person (290 George St. N, Peterborough), online or call 705.742.7469 to purchase tickets.
Note that this concert will not take place at Showplace, but at Emmanuel United Church East—formerly known as George Street United Church (534 George St. N, Peterborough).
Concert ticket holders are invited to attend Meet the Maestro, a pre-concert chat with PSO Music Director & Conductor, Michael Newnham, in the church at 6:40 p.m. before the concert at 7:30 p.m.
