PYO Music Institute’s 85th Anniversary Gala

A Community in Harmony Inspiring the Future celebrated the achievements and milestones built through the cohesive efforts of our diverse community of students, families, faculty, patrons, and you, our symphony of supporters. This milestone celebration highlighted 85 years of harmonious growth for PYOMI and the incredible accomplishments of our students, the future of our community.  
 
This was an unforgettable evening of outstanding music, fine art, elegant dining, and dancing, featuring live performances by Philadelphia Youth Orchestra and Philadelphia Youth Jazz Orchestra. The PYO Music Institute’s 85^th Anniversary Gala was our finest to date, and our largest event of the year, raising funds to support our Tune Up Philly program and financial aid fund.  

Thanks to the annual partnership with the Studio Incamminati, proceeds from the Gala art sale benefit Tune Up Philly and our Scholarship Program. Paintings from the Gala are still available!

There is still time to donate toward our Tune Up Philly program and financial aid fund! Contact Salvatore Parillo, Development Manager, at sparillo@pyomusic.org or (215) 545-0502, extension 5 with any questions.
