A few weeks ago, members of the Pennsylvania Chamber Orchestra were honored to participate in the inaugural NPAC Showcase at Penn State, celebrating the incredible performing arts organizations that make our region so vibrant.

Representing the PCO were Sarah Schouten (French Horn), Andreas Oeste (Oboe), Ashley Shank (Flute), Anthony Poehailos (Clarinet), and Jason Worzbyt (Bassoon). We were proud to be part of an event highlighting the talent, collaboration, and creativity that strengthen our arts community.

Thank you to the organizers and everyone who attended. We’re excited to see the future of the Nittany Performing Arts Centre take shape!
