CYM's Concert Passport Program

Be a Well-Traveled Musician...

...with CYM's Concert Passport Program!

For the musical adventurer in all of us, CYM wants to support your wanderlust for live music beginning in 2013. The inaugural leg of the Concert Passport journey- January-March 2013- invites CYM students to develop their experience as audience members and hone their listening skills as appreciators of the musical world! 

Take advantage of the wonderful live-performance opportunities are all around you! Students are encouraged to attend CYM (as well as non-CYM) musical performances and events alike to earn a musical treat, chances to win a semester-end prize, and recognition as our Most Well-Traveled Passport Participant at CYM's Solo Recital in May! Pick up an official CYM Concert Passport at the front desk in Wexford and Sewickley (CYM at WT folks, get your passport by contacting Ms. Simmi at simmitripathi@youngmusicians.org)

Here's how it works...

The Rules:

1. You must be a CYM Student to participate in the Concert Passport program.

2. To gain credit for your attendance, you must have your passport stamped or initialed by a teacher or CYM staff member at each concert or event you attend where you are not performing. Our goal for our musical travelers is to become excellent audience members and appreciators of the performances around them. 

3. Bring a friend (or friends!) to a CYM concert or event and earn one extra stamp!

4. Present your completed passport to your teacher before March 31, 2013 and receive:

• 3 stamps earns a fun, music-related prize (this may include a musical or instrumental accessory or treat)
• 4+ stamps earns the above prize, as well as the student’s name to be entered into a drawing for a larger prize (announced each semester). For each stamp earned past 4, your name will be included in the drawing– your odds of winning go up!  (Example: 7 stamps= prize + your name is included 3 times in the drawing!)

Approved events for the Passport Program:

• CYM Concert or Event
• Pittsburgh Symphony or other non-CYM professional performance

...may we suggest performances supported by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust or similar local arts initiative?

*any non-CYM concert you attend, please save your program and present it to your teacher at your next lesson to receive a stamp or initial
