Oakland Youth Chorus

Each year, Oakland Youth Chorus builds respect and friendship through music, creating connections across barriers, and empowering young voices calling for social change. Through its choral ensembles and in- and out-of-school programming in the East Bay, Oakland Youth Chorus provides almost 2,000 youth between the ages of five and 19 with multicultural music and choral instruction and performance opportunities each year. This grant to Oakland Youth Chorus advances the Performing Arts Program’s Youth strategy by supporting an organization with a long history of providing access to high-quality choral learning and performing opportunities to youth of color in Oakland.
