Berks Youth Chorus

Berks Youth Chorus’ mission is to enrich our community by fostering and promoting choral excellence in young people through music education and quality performances. Berks Youth Chorus strives to cultivate leadership, confidence, friendship, creativity, and joy for choral singing in young singers through diverse programming and musical excellence. We envision our singers contributing to a world that is inspired by and connected through music.

Since 1992, the chorus has provided young singers the opportunity to perform in a variety of venues from nursing homes and churches, to concert halls and hospitals. Our singers embrace music as a celebration that connects people globally and crosses all boundaries.

Our primary programmatic initiative, Chorus for Causes, empowers our youth to use music as a vehicle to give back to their community. During each of our three annual seasons, our singers select and partner with an organization doing work in the community that our singers are passionate about. The process gives our singers the opportunity to witness firsthand how their voices can make a difference in our world.
