At The Pittsburgh Youth Chamber Orchestra (PYCO) We ...

  • Focus on the more intimate and deeply rewarding repertoire of the Chamber Orchestra and Chamber Music.
  • Encourage orchestra member participation as soloists.
  • Help students to achieve the highest level of excellence in performance, not only as team players but also as individual performers.
  • Strive to expose the students to the building blocks of professional musicianship through chamber music literature, as well as to open their minds to the study and practice of contemporary music and alternative styles.
  • Offer the students the opportunity to experience a “conductor-less” orchestra or a principal player acting as a conductor, by performing in this format in some of our concerts.
  • Feature guest conductors, guest sectional coaches, master classes, workshops and chamber music camps offered by local, national and internationally recognized professional musicians.

Congratulations PYCO members for a fantastic concert on Sunday, February 21, 2010!

My heart goes to each of you for the hard work you put into the preparation
of this concert in record time. You have done it again!

Music Director, Pablo Ardiles
