OPEN CLASSES/ PLACEMENT DATES
If you would like to join PYC in January 2025, each new singer in grades 3+ is required to participate in a placement session. This is a short group format session where PYC conductors can determine the best choir placement for your singer!

Placement sessions are not an audition, but a fun activity that will feel comfortable and let your singer just enjoy singing!

All placement sessions take place at Duquesne University.
