YOUTH PRIDE CHORUS

SPRING 2024 - FIRST REHEARSAL - FEBRUARY 15, 2024

In 2003 Big Apple Performing Arts and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center's Center Youth program came together to create the Youth Pride Chorus. To date, YPC has performed as guest artists at the GLAAD Media Awards, alongside Cyndi Lauper and Broadway stars, GLSEN's Respect Awards, Broadway Backwards at Lincoln Center, and much more!

Youth Pride Chorus harnesses the power of the performing arts to galvanize lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and straight young people ages 13-22 as agents of change. YPC refuses homophobia, bullying, and all forms of hate by boldly asserting the joy, diversity, strength, and pride of today's youth. YPC singers discover their own power by empowering others in schools, online, and for the general public through electrifying performances of the highest calibre.
