Contents
History[edit]
The Pensacola Symphony Orchestra dates back to 1926, when German-born John Borjes, who had studied at the Leipzig conservatory, established the Pensacola Philharmonic Orchestra. A smaller, more informal group was also founded around that time by Edwin Northrup.
The groups continued to perform through the Great Depression with financial assistance from Works Progress Administration's Federal Music Project. The groups' names changed many times over the years before settling on the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra.
Dr. Grier Williams, who became music director in 1979, oversaw the most dramatic growth of the organization. The orchestra had been performing in the auditorium of Pensacola High School for many years, but the City of Pensacola's purchase and renovation of the Saenger Theatre allowed them to move to the more elegant venue in 1982. Williams served as music director and conductor until 1996, when the position was occupied by Peter Rubardt.
The PSO currently enjoys audiences of over 26,000 per year, with an additional 45,000 listeners via the orchestra's radio broadcasts on WUWF. With renovations at the Saenger Theatre, from 2007 to 2009 the PSO held its concerts at other venues, including performances of the "Masterworks" series at First Baptist Church. On April 18, 2009 the group returned to the Saenger.
Leadership[edit]
