As the 2023-2024 season comes to a close, we want to take this opportunity to congratulate the PYO Music Institute Class of 2023 on their incredible achievements. It is with great excitement that we share that 50 of our PYO graduates will be attending 36 colleges, universities, and conservatories across 12 states and 2 countries beginning in the Fall. This is not only a testament to their many talents, but also to the discipline, dedication, and commitment they have shown to their studies, both in music and in other academic pursuits.
We are also thrilled to learn that 12% of our graduates plan to attend Ivy League schools, and 38% plan to major in music. This highlights the invaluable role that transformative music education has played in nurturing and developing the leaders of tomorrow. We are confident that the graduating Class of 2023 will continue to make a positive impact in their respective fields and inspire others to pursue their passions.
To the Class of 2023, as you prepare for this next chapter in your lives, we want you to know that you have our full support and encouragement. We hope that you will continue to hone your craft and use your talents to make a difference in the world.
Congratulations once again to the PYO Music Institute Class of 2023. You have achieved so much and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for each and every one of you.
