Lift Every Voice addresses systemic underrepresentation and historic marginalization of artists within the orchestra industry, with particular emphasis on showcasing the accomplishments of Black artists. The Lift Every Voice initiative has three primary objectives: 1) To celebrate and promote the accomplishments of Black artists; 2) To improve equity within the Pittsburgh arts community; and 3) To expand representation on stage of Black musicians, especially those with direct connections to Pittsburgh, including composers, conductors, and performers.

The Wilkinsburg Neighborhood Partnership promotes music experiences for all Wilkinsburg families. The partnership convenes educators, local leaders, and community members who collaborate to ensure music education and interactions are available for all students; raise funds for the Wilkinsburg School District music program; supplement music instruction with classroom visits by PSO musicians and other local artists; and provide opportunities for youth to participate in out-of-school music activities.

SUPPORTED, IN PART, BY:

Designed especially for children ages 3-5, each 45-minute workshop combines reading, music, and dance to tell the story of Africa and her quest to learn how to double Dutch. Put on some comfy clothes and discover how to “jump, fly, double Dutch to the sky!”
