How is the chorus structured?
Choruses are led by Young People’s Chorus of New York City’s trained conductors and professional accompanists through synchronous and asynchronous sessions, children will experience the joy of singing while exploring music that spans New York City’s many cultures.

• Engaging online sessions allow singers to connect in real time with their conductor
• YPC will work within school’s budget
• This year’s program will culminate in June with a 360-degree virtual concert experience that will be fun for the whole family
