Music & Wellness

The Music and Wellness program works to positively impact the physical, mental, and emotional health of Pittsburgh residents. Working closely with music therapists and other healthcare professionals across the region, the program brings therapeutic, live musical experiences to individuals of all ages in a variety of settings.

Sensory Friendly

Sensory-friendly performances at the Pittsburgh Symphony are inclusive experiences that are open to patrons of all ages and abilities and designed for individuals on the autism spectrum, those with sensory sensitivities, and others who would like to enjoy a concert in a relaxed environment. The symphony works closely with its Accessibility Advisory Committee and others in the Pittsburgh community to plan these experiences, where all patrons are welcome to come with family and friends and respond to the music in their own way!

Save the date for next year's Sensory Friendly performance, "Disney in Concert: Tale as Old as Time," on March 30, 2019.

In Honor of Service

In Honor of Service works with the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System to provide therapeutic experiences for local veterans using live music. Pittsburgh Symphony musicians collaborate closely with VA music therapists to deliver highly impactful experiences that address a variety of health challenges including dementia, suicide prevention, and palliative care.

Join us for this year’s Americana Concert celebrating those who serve and protect our country on June 28, 2019, at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum in Oakland.
