The audition requirements listed on this application
are the minimum required for entrance and being able to meet
these requirements will not guarantee an applicant's acceptance.
Our music staff will select applicants who can
play at the level of students currently in each ensemble. The
different levels represented by the orchestra and ensemble
are intended to help each student grow at his or her own pace
as a player and musician. However, students exhibiting skills
above the current PYPO Prelude Ensemble will be reviewed on
a case-by-case basis by the adjudication panel and Music Director
for part-time, or full admission into the Pittsburgh Youth
Philharmonic Orchestra.
