The Pittsburgh Savoyards Orchestra is comprised of semi-professional and professional musicians who donate their time to play Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. The Orchestra also works with musical students who want to experience playing this great music in a live setting.

We invite you to attend a live Pittsburgh Savoyards performance to experience what a wonderful and exciting difference a performance can be with live music!
