The Pan American Symphony Orchestra (PASO) is a performing arts ensemble based in Washington, DC, established to present Latin American symphonic repertoire in local concert venues. Its mission centers on expanding representation of Latin American music through regular performances and by featuring soloists and composers from the region, including contemporary works and rarely performed pieces from diverse Latin American origins. The organization aims to attract audiences from across the United States with programming that includes traditional tango-influenced works and collaborations with notable Latin American musicians, delivering culturally focused symphonic experiences. PASO emphasizes commissioning new works and maintaining a season that highlights female Latin American composers, while also presenting unique concerts such as tango-inflected symphonic shows and events that draw participants from the broader DC metropolitan area. The orchestra was founded by Argentine conductor Sergio Alessandro Buslje and remains rooted in the Washington, DC area as it continues to bring Latin American symphonic music to local stages.
