Dear Roger Tabler, Staff and Orchestra Members of PYPO,

Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to perform with your amazing orchestra. Carmina Burana has been one of the best experiences in my career thus far. I have told all my friends and professors that this was the best and most professional high school group I have ever heard! It was wonderful to work with you.

Thank you!
Musically yours, Lauren Corcoran

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.
