Youth Pride Chorus Concerts

About the Youth Pride Chorus

The Youth Pride Chorus provides lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender youth and their allies with opportunities to develop artistic excellence and leadership skills and engages young people in the movement for social change through the use of their individual and collective voices and through their visibility as a performance group. Formed in 2001 as a joint project of the NYCGMC and the Youth Enrichment Services Program of New York's LGBT Center, it is the first LGBT youth chorus in the US to be sponsored by an adult chorus. YPC comprises over 30 singers and performs two concerts per year, as well as additional outreach to the community, such as its recent. performances for Planned Parenthood of Bucks County, Time Warner, and at the New York City Council Speaker's annual Pride Celebration.

YPC, under the direction of Wesley Webb, is accompanied by pianist Jonnah Speidel and is supervised by Youth Enrichment Services program staff. Its rehearsals, from September through June of each year at the LGBT Center, are a fun, lively and engaging process that includes not only preparation for upcoming concerts but also vocal training, music appreciation, performance technique and interpersonal skills development.
