The Young People’s Chorus of New York City announced its appointment of Jason Zahorchak as the new Chief Operating Officer.

In his new role, Zahorchak will work closely with Founder and Artistic Director Francisco J. Núñez and the chorus’ Board of Directors. Together they will work to strengthen the infrastructure that supports the organization and each and every young chorister has access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. Zahorchak will be responsible for driving the organization’s operational strategy, supporting the chorus’ artistic mission and educational programming, and enhancing organizational efficiency and growth.

Zahorchak holds over 20 years of experience in nonprofit leadership and is known for transforming core operations across finance, development, communications, and human resources. His appointment comes at a pivotal moment as the Young People’s Chorus of New York City continues to expand its impact, supporting more than 2,000 children across New York City and solidifying its presence as a global leader.

“Jason’s commitment to fostering inclusive environments and his expertise in nonprofit leadership align seamlessly with YPC’s mission to create pathways through the arts for young people of all cultural and economic backgrounds,” said Núñez in a press release. “His experience will help us elevate our programs and build a foundation for growth that will serve even more young people over the next decade and beyond.”
