Pittsburgh Civic Orchestra was busy rehearsing for the fourth concert of our 2019-2020 season when everything shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are so sad that we were not able to perform with our Young Artists Competition (PCO/PMTA Greater Pittsburgh Chapter) finalists. The three finalists for the 2019-2020 season are: Chelsea Chao (piano), Sophia Jho (harp) and Emily Kocur (piano). ... We hope we will be able to perform with them in the future! Currently, the safety and health of our patrons and personnel is our biggest priority as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop. While Pennsylvania's Stay At Home order has been lifted, the timeline for a safe return to orchestral performance continues to be uncertain. Pittsburgh Civic Orchestra is working to discover ways to adapt in this new environment and connect with the community through music. Stay healthy and stay tuned!

May the Fourth be with you!
