HOW TO JOIN ONE OF PYPO’S ENSEMBLES
Our staff is committed to challenging each musician, nurturing each person and exploring the humanity behind the art. At PYPO we cling to the idea that personal expression transcends music, because a PYPO education is not necessarily training just for a musical career-it is training for a creative life.
