We aim to be the premiere children and youth chorus program for Long Beach and the surrounding communities. Last season was a breakout season for the LBYC, and we see great things happening for our organization! We provide vocal and music training for all of our young singers, and performance opportunities that they may not get in their schools. The Long Beach Youth Chorus has performed with the Long Beach Symphony, the Camerata Singers of Long Beach, the Long Beach Chorale, and has performed for the Mayor's tree-lighting ceremony, CSULB basketball games and our own concerts 3-4 times per year.
“My daughter had one of the hardest years of her life, and the LBYC and its staff made that year a more positive and happier year. Great place to make friends and do what she loves… that’s LBYC!” - Andrea C.
“L and A both go around singing the music, even from earlier seasons, all the time. We are delighted to have accessible music education and performance opportunities in Long Beach. We hope they’ll be hooked for life :) - Caitlin M.
“Watching my child feel confident to perform with the LBYC is the best gift! I am a choral singer and have always hoped for that moment, and because of this chorus, my wish came true!” - Sarah T.
“I’m so thankful for the experiences with the LBYC. My son is exposed to many genres of music, including those from different languages and cultures. Most importantly, he gets to experience the joy and warmth of communal singing, and find his voice among his peers and friends. We love LBYC! - Vinita H.
“Being a part of the LBYC has changed me as a person in many ways by letting me engage with people and doing activities I enjoy. It also affected me by helping me understand the experience of being part of something that others and myself take interest in.” = Claribel, age 14
Our mission is to develop the appreciation of choral music and musical talent among young people from diverse backgrounds in a mutually supportive environment.
Our vision is to be a diverse multi-chorus organization that provides every child in the region the opportunity to perform in a choir and gives them the life-changing skills that choral singing can develop.
