The Young People’s Chorus of New York City is teaming up with the Yale Glee Club to presente a special performance in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. on Jan. 14, 2024.

The free concert will be headlined by baritone Lester Lynch. On the program will be works by Ricky Ian Gordon, as well as other songs arranged by Lynch with other composers and musicians.

“Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamt of a world where all children, no matter their background, could live together in harmony,” said Francisco J. Núñez, artistic director and founder of Young People’s Chorus of New York City, in an official press statement issued by the company. “This is the same dream that YPC aspires to make reality through music every day. By bringing children of all cultural and economic backgrounds together in our unique program of music education and choral performance, our hope is that each child can reach their full potential.”

This is the first collaboration between the Young People’s Chorus of New York City and the Yale Glee Club. The program kicks off at 4 p.m. at Brick Presbyterian Church (1140 Park Ave, New York, NY 10128) in New York City.
