The PSO’s Community Partners concerts have raised over $539,000 for partnering nonprofit groups since they began in 2004. The Community Partners Concert is an annual collaboration with 25 Pittsburgh area nonprofit organizations. Your designated ticket purchase benefits the participating nonprofit of your choice. The PSO donates the orchestra services, and secures corporate sponsors to underwrite out of pocket costs associated with guest artist services and concert production.

Verdi Requiem

Tickets cost $17.50 – $80.00.

 Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts hosts Manfred Honeck, conductor; Angela Meade, soprano; Marina Prudenskaja, mezzo-soprano; Dimitri Pittas, tenor; Liang Li, bass; Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh. Guiseppe Verdi’s Requiem is one of the most dramatic and emotional pieces of sacred music ever written. There are some who say Verdi’s Requiem is too dramatic for sacred music. However, Manfred Honeck answers, “It cannot be dramatic enough.”
This powerhouse of extreme emotion and exquisite moments set to the text of the Roman Catholic Funeral Mass was composed to honor the death of Italian poet Alessandro Manzoni, whom Verdi revered.
