The Portland Symphony Orchestra

Please join us in welcoming Gregory Tompkins to the PSO as section violin!

Violinist Gregory Tompkins regularly performs in solo, chamber and orchestral settings throughout the United States. In addition to the Portland Symphony Orchestra, Gregory is a member of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, the Cape Symphony Orchestra, and serves as principal second violin for Orchestra New England.

Yesterday marked the last Explorers' lesson of the year and the final PSO educational program for the 2025-26 school year! It's been an incredible year of working with educators to bring music to students across Maine. Between Explorers lessons, KinderKonzerts, the PSO Children's Chorus, the Crewe Youth Concert, and extended learning opportunities, we've held over 450 educational events that reached more than 25,000 students and educators since October.

None of these programs would be possible without the support of our generous sponsors and donors. Consider a gift to help us continue bringing the power of music to students across the state: https://portsym.org/support
