The Young People’s Chorus of New York City™ created the YPC Satellite Chorus Program™ in 2003 to bring National Standards-based music education to New York City public schools in need of quality music programs.

The concert opens with all of the YPC Satellite Chorus Program™ children joining together in singing André Thomas' "I Hear America Singing," then each school will sing individually.  This year’s concert will also feature an improvisational session with YPC's Artistic Director/Founder, Francisco J. Núñez.

The concert closes with all joining together in singing “Give Us Hope,” the powerful childhood anthem composed for the YPC by Jim Papoulis.
