What Makes The SSWPA Young Artist Program Unique?

The Young Artists Program of the SSWPA is unique, offering young gifted pianists from this area opportunities that are not provided by any other local organizations. 

YOUNG ARTISTS HONOR RECITALS 
 Open to all the SSWPA Young Artists.  The SSWPA Young Artists Honor Recitals will take place during the 2021 season, via ZOOM, and live, at Fort Pitt Piano Company.  The dates of these recitals will be announced in January 2021.  Students can sign up with a program not longer than 10 minutes.  Dress code for the Honor Recitals is evening attire (suit or shirt and tie for boys, formal dress or gown for girls).  Each performer will receive a plaque and a certificate of recognition.
 
WORKSHOPS
 During the season we plan to offer (upon availability) workshops conducted by some of the Recital Series Artists, and some renowned local pianists, via ZOOM.
