The Young People’s Chorus of New York City was thrilled to join our YPC National partner, the JCC Thurnauer School of Music, for the Gift of Music Benefit Concert on February 2, 2025, at 4 PM. Held at the Bergen County Academies Auditorium in Hackensack, New Jersey, this inspiring event featured nearly 100 YPC choristers, over 80 Thurnauer students, and world-renowned saxophonist Steven Banks in a powerful celebration of music and community.

The concert included the debut of Jus See, See, a newly commissioned work by YPC Founder and Artistic Director Francisco J. Núñez, inspired by the stories and voices of Thurnauer students. Audiences also enjoyed Mi Alma en Color, a poignant piece exploring the aspirations and resilience of young people.
