This fall, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra launched Front Row: The PSO Virtual Experience, a digital series of music recorded at locations throughout the region and offered free for six months following the launch. One two-part episode featured PSO musicians performing works by Beethoven and contemporary American composers at Heinz Hall (the orchestra’s home venue), Pittsburgh’s Andy Warhol Museum, and Fallingwater, the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed house in southwestern Pennsylvania. Other episodes included a sensory-friendly holiday concert led by Principal Pops Conductor Byron Stripling, and “Finding Your Song,” a program of music by Gabriela Lena Frank, Hannah Ishizaki, and Jorge Montilla, also conducted by Stripling. Andres Franco conducted a program of music by five women composers—Jennifer Higdon, Libby Larsen, Jessie Montgomery, Florence Price, and Joan Tower—recorded at Heinz Hall and at Washington Penn Plastics Hangar.
