Youth Chorus

Based in Chatham, NJ

The New Jersey Youth Chorus provides a unique musical education that encourages a love and appreciation of choral music while nurturing personal growth and creative development.

We are not teaching music to children," said Trish Joyce, Founder and Artistic Director. "We teach children through the power of music. We have high musical expectations, and we strive for high standards of musical excellence. We also believe that we should teach the whole person. To quote Helen Kemp - "body, mind, spirit, voice." We believe that through the choral art - through the NJYC choir family - the musical journey is about fellowship, compassion, commitment, taking risks, growing, nurturing, beauty, joy, and passion.

We are here to inspire children to discover, learn and perform beyond their expectations. As Eph Ely wrote, our goal is to "discover the extra in the ordinary."

Founded - 1992.
