Young People’s Chorus of New York City, in collaboration with the Manhattan Film Festival, proudly presented the world premiere of our award-winning documentary, “This Time Round,” at the 2024 Manhattan Film Festival. The event took place on Friday, June 21 at 5 pm at Cinema Village. The overwhelming support from YPC supporters, community members, alumni, families, and friends filled our hearts with gratitude as we shared our work with the world.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

This Time Round explores the many facets of the extended COVID-19 pandemic’s intense emotional toll—fear, isolation, sadness and hopefulness—as experienced through the eyes of the young choristers and accomplished composers of YPC. This film features commissions from 15 of today’s renowned composers – including Paquito D’Rivera, Aneesa Folds, David Lang and Paola Prestini – and the voices of nearly 600 choristers who recorded themselves during the height of the COVID-19 lockdown.
