Philadelphia Youth Orchestra Presents 2022 Showcase With WRTI's Kevin Gordon, February 27
Nearly 500 young musicians to perform in Verizon Hall of the Kimmel Center.
The Philadelphia Youth Orchestra Music Institute (PYOMI) presents their annual Showcase performance of all seven program ensemble divisions. The performance is hosted by Kevin Gordon of WRTI 90.1 and takes place on Sunday, February 27, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. in Verizon Hall at The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts at Broad and Spruce Streets in Philadelphia, PA.
In a special lobby performance, Tune Up Philly - Orchestral Pathways Program (TUP) will be entertaining guests as they arrive. Some notable Tune Up Philly alumni will share how their experiences in the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra prepared them for future ensembles. TUP is the PYO Music Institute's after-school music program, directed by Paul Smith. It focuses on creating and inspiring true community by providing children in under-resourced communities with opportunities to learn and perform a differentiated orchestral music curriculum. Also performing in this lobby performance will be Pizzicato Players, PYOMI's newest ensemble for plucked string instruments.
