Spring Solo Recital on May 3... photos are up!

With a new season comes new experiences! 

We are excited to announce a new venue for this Spring's Solo Recital- the First Unitarian Church in Shadyside. Boasting a grand piano, split stage, natural light and beautifully carved architecture, this space has been the home of excellent concerts and performances in the Pittsburgh region. We are delighted to present CYM student musicians in this gorgeous venue- the perfect place to take pictures and shoot video!

Inside the First Unitarian Church

Adjacent to CYM's Shadyside location at the Winchester Thurston School City Campus, families are welcomed to park in and around the lots surrounding WT's campus, as well as street parking on Morewood, Ellsworth, and Amberson. Directions to the First Unitarian Church can be found here.

This year, we will be holding two recitals- the first will be the CYM Piano Department held at 11:00am, the second featuring CYM Violin, Cello and Guitar at 1:30pm. This is a small consolidation of the three recitals held in years past.

Families, be on the lookout for correspondence from your child's teacher with special instructions for preparation and arrival. We expect all our families and students to be their best as performers and as audience members at the Solo Recital- if you need a reminder of concert etiquette, here is a handy guide. 

We will take time during each Solo Recital to honor our CYM graduating seniors as well as our practice challenge winners!

Toddler and Twinkler families, (especially for those in Twinkler Transition) this is a wonderful opportunity for your little one to become more familiar with each instrument at CYM and hear students performing at every skill level. This recital is a chance for parents to not only see and hear the different instruments but also to see what their children will be doing in just a few months or years. Even if you are only able to stay for a portion of a concert, it is still an excellent experience! 

As a reminder, There will be no classes held on Saturday, May 3 to allow all CYM students to attend the Solo Recitals and take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to see music education in action.  

Please call CYM- 724-935-0505 or send an email to scheduling@youngmusicians.org to reschedule.
