Stuart Ayres MP, Member for Penrith joined Dr Paul Terracini, Artistic Director of the Penrith Symphony Orchestra (PSO) to announce a NSW Government grant which will assist in presenting a season of concerts in 2017.
Stuart Ayres said Penrith Symphony Orchestra has been successful in securing a NSW Government Arts and Cultural Development Program grant of $30,000.00.
“The funding being provided will help the PSO to deliver innovative arts and cultural programs to the Penrith community throughout 2017,” Stuart Ayres said.
