Young People’s Chorus of New York City and the Music Academy’s SING! Children’s Choirare excited to announce their joint concert, taking place at the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara. The much-anticipated performance will be held on Sunday, July 23 at 3 pm and promises to captivate audiences of all ages. 🎶💙

Highlighting this exceptional collaboration is the world premiere of an original composition titled “Tides,” commissioned by YPC Founder and Artistic Director Francisco J. Núñez and created by acclaimed composer and former Miss America, Nia Imani Franklin. “Tides” delves into the intricate relationship between humanity and the Earth, inspiring individuals to reflect on their impact on the environment and embrace sustainable practices to minimize unnecessary waste.

As an accomplished artist and advocate, Franklin’s composition resonates deeply with the mission of the joint concert, aiming to raise awareness and promote positive change through the power of music.

The July 23 performance at Lobero Theater concludes YPC’s weeklong residency at Music Academy. Through YPC’s national choral organization, YPC National, conductors, teachers and children in grades 6-12 from across the country have the opportunity to work with Núñez, a MacArthur Fellow, as well as Franklin and additional YPC artistic faculty, studying repertoire and refining conducting skills.
