On November 3 at Merkin Hall, YPC will introduce Vocal Currents, a new program that builds upon YPC’s groundbreaking Transient Glory and Radio Radiance commissioning series, to reimagine and create the music of tomorrow. This performance introduces eight Vocal Currents commissions for a new catalogue of music that YPC will make available to young people in choruses in communities and schools across the country and around the world.

The Young People’s Chorus of New York City and YPC Assistant Conductor Maria Peña, together with folk icon Arlo Guthrie, The Guthrie Family, and WABC-TV will launch Winter's Eve at Lincoln Center at the festival’s traditional tree-lighting ceremony hosted by the famed singer/songwriter Judy Collins.

The Young People’s Chorus of New York City conducted by Artistic Director Francisco J. Núñez, join soprano and program curator Julia Bullock and a roster of acclaimed artists at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This event features a program of music set to the poems of Langston Hughes, the American poet, novelist, playwright, and major contributor to the Harlem Renaissance.
