b'and in the Community!Some of PSOs most engaging events are the series of Instrument Petting Zoos we host every year. The PSO also believes strongly that learning is a life-long commitment, and in turn the PSO is committed to engaging with the community through Soundtracks, Public Lectures, and our chamber series, bringing the joy of live music directly to the community, free of charge.A young passerby joyfully reacts to producing sound on a trombone for the first time!Community Event Attendance2,624Special Community Youth Orchestra PartnershipsSince 2021, the PSO has partnered with the Youth Orchestra of Central Jersey (YOCJ) in a multitude of ways. PSOs Assistant Conductor, Kenneth Bean, serves as the director of YOCJs top orchestra, and PSO musicians and guest artists run captivating and enriching workshops and other educational programs for the students. YOCJ students and their families also benefit from significant access to PSO concerts, either via free or steeply discounted tickets. Following the success of this relationship, the PSO is extending itself in a similar relationship to the Greater Princeton Youth Orchestra (GPYO). princetonsymphony.org 13 (609) 497-0020'
