It all begins with the love of singing.

Founded in 1992 by Artistic Director Dianne Berkun, the GRAMMY® award-winning Brooklyn Youth Chorus Academy (BYCA) provides an unparalleled vocal music education and performing experience for New York City children. At BYCA, children who love to sing can develop their voices and their skills, and experience the joy of performing in a world-class vocal ensemble.

" The Brooklyn Youth Chorus is regularly heard alongside prestigious ensembles in major works at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and the Brooklyn Academy of Music... It can sometimes be hard to think of this group as anything but a polished ensemble of miniature professionals." -- Steve Smith, The New York Times


Auditions are still open for Fall 2010!
