Registration for Youth Chamber Connection (YC²) is now open! YC² offers chamber music education, enrichment, and community-service performance opportunities for members of Three Rivers Young Peoples Orchestras (TRYPO), the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra (PYSO), and interested young musicians from the tri-state area. YC² is administrated by TRYPO staff. All musicians (approx. ages 8-19) are welcome to apply, regardless of your music program affiliation. Our goal is to expose as many students as possible to the joy and finesse of playing chamber music!
Students will receive coachings with our amazing teaching artists throughout the season, enrichment opportunities, community performances, and so much more! If you or a student you know would like to join a chamber group, click the link below to learn more about the program and register today!
2022-23 Full Season tuition rate: $500 less $100 household/ensemble discount for eligible students
Students pay annual tuition for participation in YC². Tuition covers only a portion of our expenses, and TRYPO and PYSO engage in annual fund-raising to cover the balance.
HOUSEHOLD/ENSEMBLE DISCOUNT: Households that have a child registered in PYSO or in a TRYPO large ensemble for 2022-23, may be eligible for a $100 household discount ($50 per semester).
$50 non-refundable deposit will be invoiced upon receipt of registration.
Tuition balance will be added to your TRYPO invoice after student's placement in a chamber group is confirmed in late September. Families can opt to pay their tuition balance in full or via multiple automatic credit card payments.
TUITION ASSISTANCE
We offer a financial aid and scholarship program to assist deserving, eligible students. Families should not be discouraged from applying to YC² due to financial limitations. YC² is administrated by TRYPO, in partnership with PYSO. Both are 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations committed to keeping costs as low as possible without diminishing the quality or depth of programming, and ensuring that no deserving young musician be denied participation based on financial means. Especially after the year(s) we have all endured, our scholarship program is easier than ever to receive what you need.

Additional time info:
Each chamber group will come up with a meeting time that works best for the group. Most chamber groups rehearse on Saturdays or Sundays. It is ultimately up to each group's availability. Rehearsal times are very flexible.
