. "I'm more of an enthusiast than an expert but the PSO was one of my favorite things about Pittsburgh in winter.\n\nDespite the fact that they were between music directors and had a series of guest conductors (or maybe because they were in transition) every performance I went to (except maybe one) was very exciting. The whole hall vibrates with a cozy intensity and the seasons have been very varied - classics, modern stuff, interesting guests - so we always found one or two performances that we really wanted to hear.\n\nThe cheap last minute tickets are a great deal, and if you look presentable, they'll put you in the dress-circle."^^ .
