Following in the PYCO tradition of excellence, the Pittsburgh Youth Concert Orchestra Junior Strings is a program designed to build solid, fundamental rhythmic and orchestral skills and improved sight-reading abilities in a non-competitive, relaxed, supportive and fun environment for string students grades 4-7. 

PYCO Junior Strings rehearses every Sunday from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM from September through April, with winter and spring breaks. There will also be public performances at PYCO concerts over the course of the year. All rehearsals take place at the PYCO School of Music. 

To Audition for the PYCO Junior Strings: 
Review the audition requirements for your instrument and submit an application. Once we receive and process the completed application you will be contacted to schedule your audition.
