Manfred Honeck, the PSO's incredible, new music director, has helped make 2009 a banner year for us. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette recently recognized our collaborations as 3 of the top 5 classical performances of the year, highlighting the John Adams concert(#4), the Mozart Requiem (#5), and our June performance of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony (#1). Regarding December's Requiem, Druckenbrod wrote "...at the center was a gorgeous performance of the hauntingly beautiful work by the Mendelssohn Choir and PSO."
