OUR MISSION The PYO Music Institute uses extraordinary music education through the pursuit of music excellence to inspire a strong sense of character, discipline, commitment, and community for our diverse student population.

At PYO Music Institute we are proud to train tomorrow’s leaders through the transformative power of music. Your support makes this investment in the future of our youth possible.

Thank you!

On stage, music is expressive in ways that words cannot be. The individual and collective music making of our youth is a tangible result of their discipline and commitment to excellence.

Off stage, music gives our students a sense of purpose, provides structure and routine, and offers a creative outlet for expression.

In the 2020-2021 season when the COVID-19 pandemic affected every facet of our daily lives, your support allowed PYO Music Institute to provide an anchor for our nearly 450 students in an immensely challenging year.

Thank You!

Because of you, our young musicians were part of a learning community that positively impacted their ability to navigate life during the pandemic.

Throughout the season, we continued our legacy of providing the highest level of excellence in music education, even as we were forced to pivot, adjust, re-adjust, and press on. Why? Because learning and making music with like-minded friends inspires our students to persevere, to create beauty, and to become the future leaders our world needs, now more than ever before.

A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND MUSIC DIRECTOR

Dear Friends,

At PYO Music Institute, we are committed to fostering a community where young musicians are challenged to develop as individuals through the pursuit of musical excellence. Our mission, while centered on music, is about so much more than music. Through music, we train the leaders of tomorrow.

Given the circumstances of the 2020-2021 season and continual navigating of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had more opportunity to go beyond the music with our students. Thanks to our commitment to community and personal development and your encouragement, our students and faculty adapted to new challenges of virtual learning with creativity and persistence. Together, they delved into music history and score study in fresh ways, learned professional recording techniques, and had unique opportunities to learn from special guest faculty throughout the season.

This season highlighted the commitment of everyone in the PYO Music Institute family—students, families, board, faculty, staff, and contributors—to collectively work towards a safe return to in-person music making. I am immensely grateful to everyone who has participated in and supported our endeavors to create live music again. At PYO Music Institute, the music never stopped!

Throughout both our virtual and in-person learning, we partnered with the University of Pennsylvania on program and impact evaluation. We were able to learn from our students that the positive socio-

Dear Friends

emotional impacts of our mission are real. Through formal external assessments we gained valuable validation and encouragement of our work, and I’m delighted to share the results with you.

Thank you for your continued generosity and commitment to the PYO Music Institute. You have

played an important role in the success of the 2020-2021 season and have helped to transform the lives of hundreds of students through music. For that, I extend my sincerest appreciation.

With all best regards,

Louis Scaglione President and Music Director

Expanding Music Education through Virtual Learning We recognized that continuing a community of music learning, even if it was virtual, was critical for our students. PYO violinist Anagha said, “These programs at PYOMI are super valuable because they provide the resources I can’t have, for example, at my school. These programs basically provide a community for me.”

Thanks to Zoom and our new online learning management system, students were able to continue their musical learning. They took part in classes focused on music history and score study, received individual performance feedback from their

peers and directors, and had unique opportunities to learn from guest musicians.

Bravo Brass students learned from alumnus Nicholas Bollinger (Bravo Brass ‘10), Ph.D. candidate at The Ohio State University, who led a presentation and conversation on music in film. Alumnus Ehren Valmé (Bravo Brass and PYO, ‘17) also composed a hymn arrangement of “O Thou Who Camest From Above,” which was performed and recorded in Verizon Hall.

PYAO Director Rosalind Erwin introduced “Play for Your Colleagues!,” a chance for students to perform a segment from a concerto or sonata for their peers in a supportive setting, leading to a greater sense of musical fellowship in an era of virtual distance.

“Play for Your Colleagues lets the musicians stretch out repertoire they are currently working on, and it puts them into the performance perspective.” (PYAO violinist)

While working on Astor Piazzolla’s Libertango, Prysm Strings students zoomed with Philadelphia Orchestra musician Davyd Booth to hear him play the bandoneon part on his accordion. The authentic tango feel brought new energy to the piece.

Musical Holiday Postcards from every ensemble gave students something to excitedly work towards in the holiday season. These composite recordings taught students how to practice and perform with a click track, just like professional orchestras do when playing along with a film or recording a soundtrack.

“Recording with a click track and then putting all the pieces together sounds amazing! I just love the overall product and I loved participating in it.”

– Nick Hsieh, PYO violinist

Expanding for Our Future For over 20 years, the PYO Music Institute has called St. Patrick Hall on 20th and Locust Streets home. Every weekend, the sounds of young musicians rehearsing have drifted from the church’s fellowship hall onto the streets around Rittenhouse Square. And upstairs on the third floor, a staff of one has slowly grown to four full-time staff within a single office. Yet as the number of students we served grew from 180 to over 500 and our program divisions expanded from two to six, our operating space remained the same.

In 2020, St. Patrick Parish offered us the opportunity to expand, allowing PYOMI to acquire full use of the third floor.

Your generosity enabled us to make improvements including plaster repairs, painting, and carpet installation. With the additional 1,720 ft2 of space, we now have five dedicated rooms on the third floor: Primavera Room Named after PYO Music Institute’s storied leader of 51 years, Joseph Primavera, this space offers a second large rehearsal room (after the first-floor fellowship hall) and can seat an orchestra of 80 students. The Primavera Room is used for sectional masterclasses, mock auditions, elective courses, and as a student recording studio.

Tune Up Philly (TUP) Office and Instrument Library TUP Director Paul Smith and Site Supervisor Dan Wright now have dedicated office space which is also used for Teaching Artist faculty meetings, professional development sessions, and TUP breakout rehearsals. The TUP instrument library was moved from the basement, where moisture and mold are recurring issues, to this office.

Music Library and Student Resource Center A dedicated music library and workspace supports the work of our Operations Director and Librarian, Patrick Bailey, and interns. Students have access to over 1,400 orchestral scores and parts, bowing masters, string orchestra repertoire, and chamber music. Numerous books and reference materials are available and now more accessible to support our students.

PYOMI Administrative Offices Two new office spaces have taken the place of our old, single space. They are large and flexible enough to also accommodate small group rehearsals and classes.

Reflecting our name change from the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra to PYO Music Institute, this physical expansion signals our bolder vision to serve dedicated and talented young musicians and students who would otherwise not have access to the power of music, with more and diversified programming. All of this contributes to making our city and region a more equitable and diverse performing arts hub. ●

Measuring Impact Beyond the Music For 82 years, the PYO Music Institute has fulfilled its mission to inspire young musicians with a sense of character, commitment, discipline, and community through the pursuit of musical excellence. We frequently see these outcomes as students deliver outstanding performances at concerts, contribute back to their communities in meaningful ways, and confidently pursue their life’s endeavors.

But rather than relying solely on what we could observe, we set out to empirically answer the question: To what extent do we inspire qualities that go beyond the music: character, commitment, discipline, and community?

We partnered with faculty and graduate students in the Master of Public Administration program at University of Pennsylvania’s Fels Institute of Government in 2020-2021. The Fels students helped us quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate important off stage impacts of our PYO and PYAO programs through surveys, interviews, and focus groups of students and alumni.

The results of this study confirmed the success of our mission and identified opportunities for growth.

“PYOMI has taught me a lot about having perseverance and resiliency, even when the pieces we are playing are very difficult. Having these attributes has helped me throughout high school, especially when the classes I am taking have gotten harder. In addition, I think just being around people who are so kind, motivated, and talented at what they do has made me strive to achieve more and be better at the things I do in school and in my own life.” (PYO violist)

Celebrating Success Tune Up Philly – Orchestral Pathways Program, our after-school instrumental music education program in underserved neighborhoods, recently expanded its moniker to highlight how instrumental music education creates positive pathways for students wherever life takes them. Thank you for the impact you make through Tune Up Philly. You help to open doors for students in and beyond their time in the program. Whichever life direction they pursue, our students are better off because of their experiences in Tune Up Philly. Thank you for making this possible!

Kocheyion and Neiman first picked up the clarinet through Tune Up Philly at St. James School. Meeting twice a week after school with their peers and Teaching Artist Joe Dvorak, they grew in their musical knowledge and abilities. Mr. Dvorak shared, “Kocheyion consistently brought a “can-do” attitude towards clarinet class. He is a reliable and talented musician, and I could always count on him for a positive approach to learning. And Neiman is an extremely persistent student. He was out of the program for a year and fell behind, but was determined to join clarinet again and catch up to the other students. I really appreciate his dedication, perseverance and commitment.” Through Tune Up Philly, students can build meaningful relationships with the adult mentors in their lives over the course of their time in the program. It’s these mentoring relationships around music learning that help equip students with the skills for future success.

Kocheyion and Neiman brought their persistence and ‘can-do’ attitude to their academics as well. We’re so proud of the fact that Kocheyion and Neiman graduated

eighth grade at the top of their class as St. James Schools’ first male co-valedictorian and salutatorian! They are now continuing their studies in high school at the Westtown School and Church Farm School, respectively. Tune Up Philly encourages school engagement and supports pathways for students to advance into the city’s and region’s top magnet and charter schools.

Another student, clarinetist Jeffrey Bedford, found his way in the world of music thanks to Tune Up Philly. He said, “Tune Up Philly was my starting ground and with the continuous help from the teachers and staff I was able to form my own path and succeed in it.” Now a junior at the High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, Jeffrey has advanced through PYOMI’s ensemble divisions and recently successfully auditioned for the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra. We are immensely proud of this first Tune Up Philly alumni to join the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra.

Thank you for opening doors for Jeffrey—and many students like him—through Tune Up Philly. ● Jeffrey Bedford

Meeting Philadelphia’s Needs through Tune Up Philly Philadelphia has a large ecosystem of musical opportunities for young people who already play an instrument, but in the neighborhoods where TUP works, there are few to no opportunities for a young person to get started on an instrument, leaving a significant gap in that ecosystem.

TUP was created to address the arts equity and access gaps in the city. ●

“I had never played an instrument and always wanted to.

Now I do!”

There are many more children in Philadelphia who don’t have this kind of access. Your continued support will allow us to reach more students in deeper and more meaningful ways. Thank you for your commitment to our children’s future!

Sustaining Tune Up Philly through the Linda Faith Shoer Endowment Dr. Ruth Rappaport had an insatiable passion for the arts, leading her to establish the Linda Faith Shoer Endowment for Tune Up Philly through a $1 million legacy gift. She served as Senior Director of Clinical Immunology at Wyeth Laboratories and made significant scientific contributions to the development of vaccines against diseases such as influenza and HIV. In her spare time, Dr. Rappaport played piano, participated in ballet classes, attended Philadelphia Orchestra concerts, and listened to the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra’s Sunday afternoon radio broadcasts, among other artistic pursuits.

Dr. Rappaport firmly believed that young students should have access to excellent music instruction. Her legacy gift in support of Tune Up Philly will support hundreds of students with after school music education and help to secure the future of this important program. ●

Supporting Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and Belonging Since the social unrest of summer 2020, Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging (DIEB) have become a more explicit focus of our work at PYO Music Institute. We are committed to fostering a work and learning environment where all our staff, faculty, students, board members, patrons, partners, and audiences feel valued. Our DIEB Committee spent the year participating in meaningful conversations, debates, and careful study of the key terms and ideas that shape our work.

On the programmatic side, we have committed to performing repertoire by diverse composers for every ensemble and program division. Selected composers and arrangers in the 2020-2021 season included our very own conductor Kenneth Bean and alumnus Ehren Valmé, as well as compositions by William Grant Still and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. One student said, “I was able to play orchestra repertoire that I never would have thought to explore on my own.”

We continued our work as a founding member of the Philadelphia Music Alliance for Youth (PMAY). Through PMAY’s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-supported Artists’ Initiative, we supported 40 students in our ensembles from underrepresented backgrounds with tuition support, mentorship, and advocacy in their journeys to pursue a career in classical music. We are proud to participate in and support PMAY’s long-term goal of “increasing diversity in America’s professional musical landscape, particularly in its orchestras, promoting equity, vibrancy, and sustainability within those organizations and the extraordinary art form they celebrate.”

In the 2020-2021 season, 7 of our PMAY students graduated and are now attending the Eastman School of Music, Manhattan School of Music, New England Conservatory, University of South California, and University of Pennsylvania. ●

“The PMAY Artists’ Initiative gave me a lot of incredible experiences that helped me tremendously on my musical journey. I was able to have a lot of performance opportunities between the different organizations, and I was able to see and meet some of the best viola players in the world. Most notably, I was able to perform in two masterclasses with Ms. Kim Kashkashian, who doesn’t give students trial lessons.

Getting the opportunity to work with her two times really showed her my growth as a musician and I think it was a major part of her accepting me into her studio at NEC (New England Conservatory) in the fall.”
