Intermezzo The Past Connecting to The Future
2023-2024 Impact Report
Thank You for Supporting Our Mission!
“This year taught us dedication and understanding of something bigger than ourselves, requiring us to come together to create truly transformational music.”
Dear Friends,
We are very proud to present to you our “Intermezzo: PYO Music Institute’s 2023-2024 Impact Report.” This compendium of stories and metrics highlights a kinetic “interval” of reflection, preparation, and vision, all made possible by your immutable support. This year, we embraced a nurturing phase using historical insights to cultivate and grow a promising future. PYO Music Institute has drawn from its rich legacy to build a new, relevant narrative of success and impact while constructing the scaffolding for stories to come.
One of our most prominent highlights has been the ongoing strategic growth of the PYO Music Institute’s newest ensembles led by our talented alumni. Philadelphia Youth Symphonic Band (PYSB) and Philadelphia Youth Jazz Orchestra (PYJO) continue to bring fresh perspectives, unique talents, and invaluable experience to the Institute, embodying our strategic goal to increase participation and engagement from diverse populations across our community.
We take great pride in the remarkable milestones that our talented students and alumni achieved during this season. Being a formative part of their personal and musical journeys is truly an honor. Our alumni are making a significant impact, showcasing their talents in ways that weave deeply into the fabric of Philadelphia and beyond.
None of these achievements would have been possible without your unwavering support. Your dedication is the cornerstone of our young musicians’ success, enabling us to provide exceptional music education and mentorship that nurtures their talents, builds their confidence, and inspires excellence. For this, we are profoundly grateful.
We are thrilled to embark on our 85th season, brimming with concerts and milestone events. Join us to witness firsthand the transformative power of music in the lives of our students. Your presence and encouragement mean the world to all of us here at PYO Music Institute.

Access for All: Making Music in the Community
Our Vision for a Diverse and Inclusive Organization
PYOMI strives to provide an inclusive and supportive learning environment for our diverse student body. Our organization and its programs provide a welcoming space for students, staff, faculty, audiences, and board members to experience a true sense of belonging.
The Philadelphia Music Alliance for Youth Artists’ Initiative (PMAY) supports 5th through 12th grade students from underrepresented communities and low-income households in becoming professional classical musicians. Partnering with the PYO Music Institute, PMAY aims to increase diversity in the classical music world, where less than 5% of musicians in American orchestras are African American or Latino. Furthermore, the number of South Asians, Pacific Islanders, American Indians, and Alaskan Natives remain low, contrasting the racial and ethnic diversity of cities supporting these orchestras.
PYO Music Institute shares in this mission-driven commitment to diversity. This collaboration allows us to further our goal of providing high-quality music education and professional opportunities to all students, regardless of their background, ensuring that the classical music world becomes more inclusive and representative of the diverse communities we serve.
PMAY provides financial support for lessons, music classes, youth orchestra participation, and summer camps, as well as free college and career preparation workshops. Partnering organizations include Musicopia, The Philadelphia Orchestra, Philadelphia Sinfonia, Project 440, The School District of Philadelphia, Settlement Music School, and Temple University Music Preparatory Division.
This vital scholarship program was launched in 2024 to help selected Tune Up Philly-Orchestral Pathways Program (TUP) scholars develop the prerequisite skills necessary to successfully matriculate to the next level of their musical education through private studio instruction. The program offers selected TUP students weekly private lessons, access to a loaned instrument, and a
for instrument accessories and maintenance.
