YPC GALA 2025: A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

On March 10, 450 YPC choristers lit up Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall with an unforgettable celebration of music and community.

We proudly honored the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of New York, Inc., including J.C.C. Fund President, Tomonori Wada and JCCI President, Tetsuo Kawate, for their dedication to education and cultural exchange. A special salute to our Artistic Honorees, Paquito D’Rivera, Alan Muraoka, and guest artist Alex Brown, whose contributions continue to inspire future generations.

Our deepest thanks to YPC’s Board of Trustees, led by Chairman Michael Fraccaro, our artistic team, and, most of all, our incredible choristers and supporters.
