Welcome!
The PYO is off to a fantastic start this year! It’s so good to see our returning musicians, PLUS we have a load of new student musicians too!
Did you know September is Classical Music Month?
It’s also National Blueberry Popsicle Month.
This is Delbert. He’s another BIG PYO fan.
We don’t know anything else about him,
but we promised to post fan pictures so…
HEY! The new Performance Gallery page is up…
Feast your eyes (all of them) on the new Performance Gallery page showcasing images of PYO musicians in concert and pdf’s of the print programs. Any ideas on what you’d like to see, give a shout out!

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The PYO is a string orchestra for students in grades 5-12 who want to learn, or who already play, violin, viola, cello or bass. Our goal is to support local schools in their endeavor to create thriving music programs by providing the opportunity for students to play together after school. Our students receive teaching and mentorship from members of the Prescott Symphony Orchestra organization.
When they reach high school, our students can join their local high school orchestras. Exceptional PYO students can also continue on to play in the Prescott Pops Symphony, where they will continue to receive mentorship from professional musicians. Our dream is to make the Prescott area a haven for string players of all ages.
Playing music has been shown to boost brain health, reduce stress and improve coordination, confidence, and the ability to focus. Playing music is a great way to have fun and make friends too!
