FROM THE VAULT
Hallelujah (a cappella) by Leonard Cohen
The Young People’s Chorus of New York City (YPC) is a multicultural youth chorus internationally renowned for its superb virtuosity, brilliant showmanship, and innovative model of diversity.
Founded in 1988 by Artistic Director Francisco J. Núñez, a MacArthur Fellow and Musical America’s 2018 Educator of the Year, YPC’s mission and values are deeply rooted in providing children of all cultural and economic backgrounds with a unique program of music education and choral performance. YPC is committed to empowering our youth and providing pathways to success through the arts so that each child, no matter what race, gender, socioeconomic background, or religion can reach their full potential. We stand with the black and brown community as we all champion, march, and sing for equality and a better world. Among YPC’s many awards is America’s highest honor for youth programs, a National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award.
