Disappointing. Programming was boring and the performance was lackluster, almost as if the musicians were merely phoning it in and giving their bare minimum in order to collect their meager paychecks.

This is NOT the great orchestra it was in the 1990s, Carl St.Clair's early years. I attribute that to management's incompetence, ignorance and lack of vision. The PSO Board made a huge mistake in hiring its current President, who is responsible for steering the orchestra along the right path.

Those who rated the PSO with five stars simply do not know the PSO I remember. If they did, they, too would have given this rank pickup band a much lower rating.

Never again.
