Can you help us fulfill our mission of increasing access to choral education for young people in the Greater Pittsburgh Region?

Choral singing helps young people improve their academic performance, become more self-confident, and become more engaged in school. There is joy & power in choral singing. Your donation to our Annual Campaign is critical to helping us sustain our income-based tuition assistance model, which ensures every child in grades 1-12 can discover the joy & power of singing.

PYC laid a foundation of musical skills and instilled my passion for the performing arts. I have dedicated my life to the arts through my Bachelor of Music degree all the way through to my current arts administration job. Singing in choirs has brought me so many amazing experiences and friendships that have shaped my life, and it all started with PYC!
