Young People’s Chorus of NYC is set to perform on Feb. 2, 2025.

The event, which kicks off at 4 p.m. in Hackensack, New Jersey, will bring together over 100 YPC choristers and 200 musicians from the JCC Thurnauer School of Music.

At the core of the program will be the world premiere of “Jus See, See,” a work dedicated to the school’s founding director Dorothy Kaplan Roffmann. YPC Founder and Artistic Director Francisco J. Núñez will conduct the showcase.

“’Jus See, See’ speaks to themes of identity and community through the voices of the children themselves,” said Núñez per an official press release. “Their stories, transcribed into a kaleidoscope of emotions, are woven together with both words and music, creating a musical journey that invites reflection and joy.”

Also on the program is “Mi Alma en Color,” a piece by Núñez.

“We’re thrilled to have YPC join our benefit concert,” said Emma Brondolo, a YPC alum and the Founder and Artistic Director of YPC’s affiliated choir, Young People’s Chorus @ Thurnauer, per an official press release. “Their ongoing support has helped us build something truly special – a space where young voices can grow and connect through the power of music. This concert is a testament to our shared vision, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring the event to life together.”
