Merkin Concert Hall

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.

Young People’s Chorus of New York City and Yale Choral Artists come together on Monday, June 18 at 7:30 p.m. for a compelling concert at Kaufman Music Center's Merkin Concert Hall. The program is highlighted by the world premiere of Borderless, a YPC commission from six-time, Grammy-winning Latin jazz composer Arturo O’Farrill featuring the Haven String Quartet, and New York premiere of The Glass Box, a YPC-Yale Choral Artists co-commission from the visionary composer/impresario Paola Prestini and Pulitzer Prize-winning librettist Royce Vavrek, set to dramatic visuals by Kevork Mourad.
