Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra

The ongoing collaboration between Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and City of Asylum invites its musicians to perform in a space a tad more intimate than the theaters and concert halls they're used to. The series returns with the theme of "Fierce and Female" voices in the arts, featuring conductor Christine Hestwood of the PSO, renowned visiting violinist Alina Ibragimova (she's tackling Shostakovich over the weekend at Heinz Hall), and poets Kizza and Clare Welsh.
