from Berks Youth Chorus
All young people who love to sing are invited to join Berks Youth Chorus for the 2024-25 school year, beginning Sept. 8 and Sept. 9.
BYC gives young people across Berks County the chance to find their voices, build community, and sing incredible music together. Founded in 1992, BYC has served thousands of young people through a premier choral program that runs from September through May each year. Members, in grades 3 through 12, receive high quality vocal instruction and perform at venues throughout Berks County.
Singers are divided across three ensembles and attend weekly rehearsals that equip them with the musical, vocal, social, and leadership skills to represent and serve our community. BYC is committed to a welcoming culture that unlocks the potential in every young person.
This year’s performance opportunities include multiple major concerts, a performance with Broadway star Mandy Gonzalez at Kutztown University, appearances at prominent community events, and collaborations with other elite performance ensembles in Berks County.
One of the MasterSingers described the experience of singing and growing with BYC:
“When I first started, I felt really lost because everybody ahead of me was here before me, and their voices were so much louder and more confident than I was. But as I progressed with them, my voice got better, and I got more confident, and they felt like family.”
“This is where I belong. This is what makes me feel like me, and I think that everybody should be able to grow like that.”
All who love to sing are welcome. To register, visit berksyouthchorus.org. Call 610-898-7664 or email info@berksyouthchorus.org with any questions.
BYC boasts affordable tuition and many scholarship options. Finances are never a barrier to participation. Singers may attend 2 “Try It, You’ll Like It” rehearsals before joining.
The 2024-25 season is supported by the Presser Foundation, the Neag Foundation, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency.
