Mission & Values

Mission

The Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra is a community orchestra committed to contributing high quality symphonic music to the seacoast community. We are dedicated to entertaining, educating, and encouraging the audiences of today and tomorrow.

The PSO's Commitment to Diversity

The Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra believes that fostering an environment that is equitable, diverse, and inclusive is essential to our mission of providing high-quality symphonic music to the seacoast community. We commit to learn, grow, and reflect, and to actively give voice and representation to diverse artistry and perspectives.  

This statement was adopted by the Portsmouth Symphony Orchestra Board of Directors on February 19, 2025 and represents our ongoing commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.  We acknowledge that this work will take time and accountability. We recognize the complex history surrounding some of the artists in the genre and emphasize that the views and opinions of any individual, artist, or composer may not be representative of the views of the PSO.
