Three Rivers Young Peoples Orchestras' Program

 

TRYPO consists of two orchestras: the Young Peoples Orchestra (YPO) and the Symphonette.

The YPO, 73 students ages 13-18, is a full orchestra including strings, winds, brass and percussion sections.

The Symphonette, 36 students ages 9 -15, is comprised of strings only.

In addition to a professional atmosphere and challenging repertoire, TRYPO offers:

  • Saturday afternoon rehearsals at Carnegie Mellon University from September to May.
  • Participation in full-orchestra concerts in December and May that are open to the public.
  • Monthly, instrument-specific coaching sessions with skilled Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra musicians.
  • Optional participation in small chamber music ensembles that perform for local organizations, clubs and events.
  • Master classes, when available, with guest conductors and musicians.
  • Opportunities to attend events by local, national and international musicians, orchestral and otherwise, with student-discounted tickets to the Benedum Center, Heinz Hall and other cultural arenas.
