Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) is a cultural centerpiece of the Princeton community and one of New Jersey’s finest music organizations. Founded in 1980, the orchestra has evolved into a professional orchestra of the highest artistic quality through performances of beloved masterworks, innovative music by living composers, and an extensive network of educational programs offered to area students free of charge. Led by Edward T. Cone Music Director Rossen Milanov, the PSO offers orchestral, pops, and chamber music concerts, as well as the Princeton Festival each June, having merged with the Princeton Festival in July 2021. The PSO performs at the historic Richardson Auditorium on the campus of Princeton University and presents the Princeton Festival on the grounds of Morven Museum & Garden.
