Young People’s Chorus of New York City is an internationally acclaimed choral ensemble, praised for its virtuosity and brilliant sound by The New York Times. Under the leadership of Founder and Artistic Director Francisco J. Núñez and Creative Director Elizabeth Núñez, the nonprofit organization uplifts over 2,000 young people annually, representing every neighborhood of New York City and empowering children of all backgrounds with a unique program of music education and choral performance that unlocks pathways to success through the arts.
With repertoire that spans Renaissance and classical traditions through gospel, folk, jazz, pop, contemporary and world music, YPC continually invigorates its catalogue of music for young voices by commissioning hundreds of works from many of the most distinguished and emerging composers of our time.
The organization’s acclaimed artistry inspires invitations for collaborations and performances from a global array of festivals, cultural institutions, and cities throughout the world. Their exceptional performances have been heard in five continents, where they performed with leading orchestras at world famous venues like Tokyo’s Bunkyo Civic Hall, Czech Republic’s Smetana Hall, Beijing’s Opera House, Barcelona’s Palau de la Música, and New York City’s Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall.
The chorus regularly competes in international competitions and won 10 gold medals and four world championships during the World Choir Games in Korea 2023 and New Zealand 2024.
Among YPC’s many awards are America’s highest honor for youth programs, a National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award from the White House, an honor from First Lady Laura Bush, and performances before prime ministers, Pope Francis and Pope John Paul.
