Three Rivers Young Peoples Orchestra

In 1974, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra harpist Phyllis Susen and principal flutist Bernard Z. Goldberg founded the Three Rivers Training Orchestra for students ages 13-18. The orchestra flourished. In response to inquiries for an even younger orchestra, the Symphonette, for students ages 10-15, was created in 1985 and the organization officially became Three Rivers Young Peoples Orchestras (TRYPO). The 2017-18 orchestra is comprised of 87 of Pittsburgh's most talented young people ages 11-18 from the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Students are only accepted after a rigorous and competitive audition process and spend their weekends in rehearsals preparing for concerts.

Conductor: John Wilcox
