Summer Tour 2008

July is an eventful month for the Young People’s Chorus of New York City. In addition to the national telecast of From the Top at Carnegie Hall, three of the chorus’s five divisions are competing in international choral competitions and performances in Europe and Canada.

This month Mr. Núñez takes the Concert Chorus and Young Men’s Division to the World Choir Olympics in Graz, Austria, where the two divisions will defend the gold medals they won in the 2004 Choir Olympics in Bremen, Germany. Following the Olympics, they will travel to Salzburg, Vienna, and Prague where the two YPC divisions will sing in the 2008 Rhapsody Music Festival.

In North America, YPC Associate Conductor Elizabeth Núñez and the Cantare Division of the YPC, are heading to Powell River, British Columbia for the International Kathaumixw Festival and Competition, hoping to repeat the YPC’s gold medal-winning performances of 2002.

The Young People’s Chorus of New York City (YPC) is grateful for the generous support of its Tour Co-Sponsors and Donors for its upcoming 2008 Summer Tours to Austria and the Czech Republic for the World Choir Olympics and to British Columbia for the International Choral Kathaumixw Festival.
