Discover the joy of singing with the Pittsburgh Youth Chorus this fall

New singers in grades 1-12 can attend an Open Class this September to try PYC

September 8, 2022


The Pittsburgh Youth Chorus (PYC) is Pittsburgh’s premiere youth choral education organization. With choirs for singers in grades 1-12 at locations in both Pittsburgh and Grove City, PYC is the perfect place for your student to discover the joy and power of singing. 

There are so many reasons to sing with the PYC family, including: 

Affordable Tuition for Your Family

To keep our programs as accessible as possible, EVERY singer is eligible for income-based, sliding-scale tuition https://www.pittsburghyouthchorus.org/tuition-and-discounts

Forming Bonds with Music Educators

Our singers are inspired, supported, cared for, and taught by highly-skilled, Pittsburgh-based music educators.

Opportunities to Make Lifelong Friends

Through rehearsals, concerts, special performance opportunities, and travel, our singers make friendships that can last a lifetime.
