Our Vision: Great Music in Every Life
Our Mission: To engage, enrich, and inspire through unparalleled live musical experiences
Our Values: Excellence – Inclusivity – Integrity – Celebration/Enjoyment
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Inclusion*:
We respect the diversity of our community and human rights of all.
We value diverse perspectives and contributions in the creation of the work and presentation of music we share with our community.
We strive to create a culture of dignity, respect and belonging for all individuals whom we employ, interact with and/or engage, regardless of background or experience.
We recognize that our organization does not equitably represent our community, specifically in regard to people who identify as Black, indigenous and people of color, and we are determined to change this.
We commit to creating a welcoming, accessible, and inclusive environment for all constituencies engaged with the PSO and in Heinz Hall, and will do this with the participation of the entire Board of Directors, staff, musicians, volunteers, and community members.
