The Pittsburgh Youth Concert Orchestra Junior Wind Ensemble was formed to inspire students through challenging and engaging wind ensemble music in a fun and nurturing environment.

PYCO Junior Wind Ensemble rehearses every Sunday from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM from September through April, with winter and spring breaks. There will also be public performances at concerts throughout the year. All rehearsals take place at the PYCO School of Music.
