                           Local and Global Outreach 

 
 
 
The New Jersey Youth Chorus committed to a “Kids for Kids” theme almost 10 years ago, whereby the Chorus seeks opportunities to perform and assist children’s organizations and charities.  To date they have helped raise funds for children of September 11 victims, for children needing open heart surgery in India and participated in fundraising for The Matheny School and the American Cancer Society.  They have also performed to raise funds for the victims of Hurricaine Katrina and the relief efforts in  Haiti.   In 2010, NJYC's Intermediate Chorus performed at a benefit for the Preeclampsia Foundation and the Young Men's Ensemble performed at the "Singing for a Cure" concert. 
 
 

Our annual concerts are held during the winter holiday season and in the spring.  The Chorus also performs with professional orchestras, for a variety of civic and corporate functions, and for community clubs and other organizations.

                                         INTERMEDIATE CHORUS
 
The Intermediate trip to Music in the Parks was a success!  The performance was wonderful and earned the Intermediate Choir a Superior rating.  The Intermediates had the highest average score of all groups that performed that day- getting  96 out of a possible 100.
 
Congratulations to the Intermediate Choir!
