PYPO Festivals
PYPO's annual festivals, typically in January and February, are a way to experience a slice of what PYPO is all about. Within the span of just a single Saturday, festival participants learn, rehearse, and perform a full concert's worth of music under the expert direction of PYPO's string and wind band conductors. Join students from all over the Tri-State area and perform side-by-side with PYPO's musicians.
The only requirement to join is that you have at least one year of experience on your instrument and an excitement about growing as a musician!
