Young People’s Chorus of New York City is a multicultural youth chorus internationally renowned for its superb virtuosity and brilliant showmanship. Founded in 1988 by Artistic Director Francisco J. Núñez, its mission is one of diversity and artistic excellence of all students.

Each year, YPC serves more than 2,000 children throughout New York City in its core after-school performance program, community choruses’ program, and its schools program, which brings YPC’s curriculum to children in 20 schools.  Net proceeds from the Troupe’s ’23-’24 season of Anything Goes and H.M.S. Pinafore will go toward scholarships, which support over 85% of the children in YPC’s programs. This is particularly important now, when budget cuts are deeply affecting arts programs in public schools.

And, over the past three decades, YPC has created an awareness of the ability of children to rise to unforeseen artistic heights, and its acclaimed artistry inspires invitations for collaborations and performances from a global array of festivals, cultural institutions, and cities throughout the world.
