Young People's Chorus of New York City October 18, 2009

YPC was founded by Francisco J. Nunez in 1988, and has become one of the most celebrated and influential children's choruses today, performing around the globe, releasing acclaimed recordings from across the musical spectrum, and collaborating with many of the most highly regarded composers, performers, and institutions of our time. Through its celebrated Transient Glory(R) series of concerts, publications, and CDs, the chorus has commissioned well over 50 new works. YPC welcomes over 1,100 children who participate annually through its core after-school program, its Satellite Schools Program in seven New York City schools, and its first national affiliate, the Young People's Chorus of Erie (Pennsylvania). YPC is the resident chorus of three of New York City's major cultural institutions--the 92nd Street Y, Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center; and WNYC, New York Public Radio.
