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) is a performance-based vocal music education program serving 250 children and reflecting the broad diversity of New York City. 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 Chorus's three training divisions and the advanced Concert Chorus have helped hundreds of children realize their potential as musicians and as individuals. With a commitment to artistry at all levels, BYCA provides an unparalleled vocal music education and performing experience for New York City children.
