The 2009 season marks the beginning of the third decade of music-making by Penrith Symphony Orchestra.

Following the sell-out success of our 20th anniversary season in 2008, this year kicked off in March with Britannia - an exciting program of music inspired by the British Isles. The orchestra's busy performing schedule continued in May with A Night at the Opera, featuring vocal and orchestral favourites from the operatic repertoire. In June, the orchestra presented its popular annual series of children's concerts, Pops for Tots.

Next up on PSO's calendar is Great Romantics, on Saturday 22 August. In a program inspired by exploration and disovery, the Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 ("From the New World") and Rachmaninov's well-loved Piano Concerto No. 3 are juxtaposed with the premiere of a new work, 1813: Crossing the Blue Mountains, by local composer Paul Connelly.

Subscription concerts in 2009 are:
