Young New Yorkers’ Chorus

Young New Yorkers’ Chorus (YNYC) fosters a vibrant choral community through singing, performance, and collaboration with emerging composers. For New Yorkers to have a haven that brings music to those who need it, and amplifies the voices of those who wish to make it. Founded in 2001, YNYC has grown from an upstart group of young people looking to sing together to a thriving, internationally-recognized organization. Comprising both a Mixed and a Treble Ensemble and led by General & Artistic Director Alex Canovas, YNYC is one of New York’s leading advocates for the creation of new music by young composers, and regularly performs world, regional, and city premieres of new works.
