our programs

With opportunities for singers in grades 1 through 12 - and with a focus on personal development, community engagement, travel, and cultural exchange - PYC's multi-faceted programming is celebrated for its ability to nurture the potential of its participants while fostering confidence, dedication, and a sense of belonging.

Each PYC singer attends weekly rehearsals led by PYC-trained conductors and professional accompanists with perforamances throughout the season.

“Every person has a voice to share. Sometimes your voice may need a little nudge to come out, but once it does, nothing can stop you from sharing except yourself.
— PYC Instructor Mr. Steven Cosnek
