The Pittsburgh Youth Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1993 to provide extraordinary orchestral experiences for young musicians to further develop their musicianship outside of school time. We now have large ensembles and engage over 400 students each year through our school-year ensembles, summer camps, international tours, and elementary school string and band festivals. Based in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, PYPO serves students from first through twelfth grades from schools all across Allegheny County.
