For 85 years, the PYO Music Institute has been providing professional-caliber musical experiences to young instrumental­ists, while thrilling discriminating audiences in the Greater Philadelphia region and across the globe. The organization has eleven program divisions: Philadelphia Youth Orchestra (PYO), Philadelphia Young Artists Orchestra (PYAO), Young Musicians Debut Orchestra (YMDO), Bravo Brass, Prysm Strings – Main Line, Prysm Strings – New Jersey, Philadelphia Youth Symphonic Band (PYSB), Philadelphia Youth Concert Band (PYCB), Philadelphia Youth Jazz Orchestra (PYJO).

Through advanced orchestra repertoire, students are challenged to perform at pro­fessional levels, to strive for advanced musi­cianship, and to achieve superior technical, musical, and personal application. Former PYOMI musicians currently hold chairs in most of the top 20 professional orches­tras in the United States, with 12 PYOMI alumni currently serving in The Philadelphia Orchestra.
