Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra

The mission of the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra (PYSO) is to teach and inspire excellence through orchestral training, to perform in premier venues and to cultivate audiences for classical music.

PYSO members bring a sense of amazement and excitement about classical music to diverse audiences-young and old, novice and seasoned. Through their impressive performances, dedication and commitment they also serve as role-models for aspiring younger musicians and students.

Through their demanding tours in the U.S. and internationally, they have become outstanding cultural ambassadors of the Pittsburgh Region, the state of Pennsylvania, and the United States.
