Celebrate the Transformative Power of Music at YPC’s Annual Gala

Join us for an inspiring evening with the Young People’s Chorus of New York City, where music becomes a gateway to discovery, growth, and endless possibilities. This year’s Gala shines a spotlight on how YPC goes far beyond choral excellence—nurturing creativity, fostering confidence, and opening doors to brighter futures for young people.

Your support makes this life-changing work possible. Proceeds from the Gala sustain YPC’s Emmy Award-winning performances, comprehensive music education programs, and the College Bound initiative, which ensures that 100% of our graduating seniors complete high school on time and gain acceptance to colleges of their choice.

As our most important fundraising event of the year, the Gala raises one-third of YPC’s annual budget, supporting:

  • Scholarship funds for children from underserved communities
  • Choral education in NYC public schools
  • Programs that prepare young people for success on stage, in the classroom, and beyond
