Johnstown Symphony Orchestra Tickets

The Johnstown Symphony Orchestra (JSO) is a staple of the Johnstown, Pennsylvania arts scene, founded in 1929 and rooted in a rich tradition of community engagement and musical excellence. Based in Johnstown, PA, the orchestra primarily performs at the Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown (UPJ), with occasional programs at other local venues such as The Grand Halle. Led since 2016 by Music Director James Blachly—an acclaimed, Grammy-winning conductor known for his innovative work with the Experiential Orchestra—the JSO has expanded its repertoire and outreach while maintaining a commitment to accessible, high-quality live music for all audiences.
