The Portland Symphony Orchestra was originally the Amateur Strand Symphony Orchestra. It was a collective effort of some of the leading musicians in the Portland area. They simply started off by just getting together and rehearsing and the result was the Orchestra. Over the years the orchestra has grown to become a well reputed and respected cultural institution.
 
PSO’s home auditorium has always been a significant part of the orchestra’s popular appeal. In fact, the local downtown Arts District developed around the orchestra. The orchestra set up camp in the turn of the century, City Hall Auditorium, which would become a Portland City land mark over the years. With its classic colonial style architecture and the incorporation of the celebrated, Kotzschmar Memorial Organ, the auditorium contributed to the rising credibility of the Portland Symphony Orchestra. Now known as the Merrill Auditorium, it is now a complete modern facility for the performing arts.

The Orchestra conducts least two concerts each season to extend its outreach and appeal to the new generation. These programs are invaluable in bringing in new fans from the new generation who find the material more accessible and relevant. Perhaps the most popular and eagerly awaited on PSO’s schedule is the holiday season program, Magic of Christmas. It is obviously quite popular with the family audiences and hence gets performed at least eleven times over the course of the Christmas year.

This direction has brought innovation and refinement in both newly commissioned and traditional works. Robert moody has also greatly emphasized the local community based initiatives and collaborations, making PSO a true Maine institution. Moody has featured in a number of summer festivals such as Eastern Music Festival, Oregon Bach Festival and the Bowdoin Music Festival amongst others.
