Francisco J. Nuñez will be directing the Young People’s Chorus of New York City when they perform the first YPC National concert on Thursday, 18 July at 8pm at the Anfiteatro del Pabellon de la Fama. Joining the YPC singers on stage will be young singers from Santo Domingo. Tickets for the performance are for sale online at Uepa Tickets and at CCN Servicios, Supermercados Nacional and Jumbo stores nationwide.
The founder and artistic director of the chorus will lead a YPC National Studio workshop for public and private school music teachers.
After the stop in Santo Domingo, the YPC troupe will travel to Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee, where they will be joined by young singers, conductors, and teachers from New Jersey, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Georgia, and the Dominican Republic for YPC National Lab sessions for choristers and YPC National Studio sessions for teachers and conductors.
This week-long Lee University residency of workshops and rehearsals will prepare the participants for the debut performances on 25 and 26 July of Concinamus, the official YPC National choral ensemble.
The concert programs will be highlighted by the world premiere performances of the first two works in the new YPC National Works catalogue, which were commissioned from composers and longtime YPC colleagues Bruce Adolphe and Jim Papoulis, both of whom will be in attendance.
YPC National supports and inspires youth choruses and choral conductors across the country with a program of artistic excellence, diversity, and education modeled on the Young People’s Chorus of New York City.
