Dr. [[Grier Williams]], who became music director in [[1979]], oversaw the most dramatic growth of the organization. The orchestra had been performing in the auditorium of [[Pensacola High School]] for many years, but the [[City of Pensacola]]'s purchase and renovation of the [[Saenger Theatre]] allowed them to move to the more elegant venue in [[1982]]. Williams served as music director and conductor until [[1996]], when the position was occupied by [[Peter Rubardt]].
The PSO currently enjoys audiences of over 3526,000 per year, with an additional 45,000 listeners via the orchestra's radio broadcasts on [[WUWF]]. With renovations at the [[Saenger Theatre]], from 2007 to 2009 the PSO held its concerts at other venues, including performances of the "Masterworks" series at [[First Baptist Church]]. On [[April 18]], [[2009]] the group returned to the Saenger.
