Before The Voice, there was BYC. đ¤
Matthew Chiu started singing with Brooklyn Youth Chorus in second grade. Looking back, he says it never really clicked for him how special those performances were until he met singers from all over the country whoâd never had those chances.
âIt really made me grateful.â
Now competing on The Voice, Matthew sat down with our Founder and Artistic Director Dianne Berkun Menaker to talk about the discipline he learned in the chorus, how singing in a group made him a more confident soloist, and why that training is âvery foundational to who I am as a singer and a performer.â
Weâre so proud of you, Matthew! đ

What a week. What a milestone.
Performing John Adamsâ On the Transmigration of Souls with the @nyphilharmonic under the baton of @gustavodudamel at David Geffen Hall has been nothing short of transformative. Having the composer himself join us backstage, sporting his very own Brooklyn Youth Chorus shirt, was the ultimate full-circle moment.
Twenty-four years ago, Brooklyn Youth Chorus had the profound honor of premiering this historic elegy commissioned after September 11, a recording that went on to earn the Chorus a Grammy Award. Returning to this piece for the 25th anniversary of 9/11 meant carrying that history forward with a completely new generation of choristers, young artists who were not yet born in 2001.
In preparation for these performances, alumni from the original 2002 premiere returned to mentor and share their experiences with our current singers. That dialogue bridged two generations through shared purpose: using music not to erase grief, but to remember, honor, and offer comfort to our city.
To hear Mr. Adams speak directly to our students about the power and beauty of their sound in the hall, and to witness the connection between our past and present choristers, is a testament to the civic and artistic heart of what we do.
Thank you to John Adams, Gustavo Dudamel, and the New York Philharmonic for welcoming our voices back to this extraordinary work.

Fall at Brooklyn Youth Chorus has been busy, busy, busy, and we're only getting started. đś
Since September, our choristers have sung at the 9/11 25th Anniversary Memorial (Concert and Bass Ensembles), joined the New York Philharmonic for On the Transmigration of Souls (Concert Ensemble), and performed the premiere of a new song by Damon Albarn (Concert Ensemble). Bass Ensemble returned to Directions for Making a Round Ark, while Concert and Bass Ensembles lit up the Daybreaker Festival. We've also been in the community with Concert Ensemble performing at the Seramount Gala, Bass Ensemble performing at the Care for the Homeless Breakfast, and Junior Ensemble taking part in the Unity in Diversity Fair. â¨
Back in our rehearsal rooms, classes are in full swing, the energy is high, and the fun is real. Choristers are already preparing for Tosca with the New York Philharmonic (Nov 13 + 15) and Holiday Harmonies (Dec 19). đ
Weâd love to close out this incredible fall with you. Join us for an afternoon or evening of holiday music in one of Brooklynâs most beautiful spaces:
đ
Holiday Harmonies: Dec 19
â° 1:30pm and 7:30pm
đ The Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph

Thank you for cheering our choristers on this season. We canât wait to see you at a performance soon!

Our voices are traveling the world this fall.
EUPHORIA, the new feature film by artist Julian Rosefeldt, is touring international film festivals, and everywhere it plays, audiences hear the Brooklyn Youth Chorus. Our singers perform the filmâs score by Samy Moussa and Cassie Kinoshi, alongside legendary jazz drummers Terri Lyne Carrington, Peter Erskine, Antonio SĂĄnchez, Eric Harland, and Yissy GarcĂa. The film also stars Giancarlo Esposito and the voice of Cate Blanchett.
EUPHORIA began as an immersive installation that surrounded visitors with life-size projections of our choristers at Park Avenue Armory, the Ruhrtriennale, RISING Melbourne, the Holland Festival, and VĂślklinger HĂźtte. Now the film is reaching audiences around the world.
Catch it this fall:
đ Geneva International Film Festival, Oct 30âNov 8

This past Monday, our Concert Ensemble took the Alice Tully Hall stage for a special unannounced performance at the @TheNYFF world premiere of Luca Guadagninoâs Artificial.
Joining Damon Albarn at the piano to perform his original piece âThe Saddest Songâ before the screening was an incredible, hauntingly beautiful experience for our young singers.
A huge thank you to Damon Albarn for being so generous, inspiring, and wonderful to collaborate with, and to the Artificial team for having us share in bringing this music to life!

One chorus. Generations of voices. One very special night.
After Saturday eveningâs performance of John Adamsâ On the Transmigration of Souls at David Geffen Hall, Brooklyn Youth Chorus alumni gathered high above the city at the Empire Rooftop to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate the music and community that have stayed with them long after their time in the chorus.
Among the crowd were alums from the very beginningâincluding members of the original 2002 cast of On the Transmigration of Soulsâalongside singers from more recent generations.
Twenty-four years, countless performances, and thousands of young voices later, it was incredibly moving to see so many chapters of the BYC story together in one room.
Because being a BYC singer doesnât end when you graduate. The music stays with you. The friendships stay with you. And youâre always part of the chorus.
Hereâs to the voices that came before us, the voices singing today, and all the voices still to come.

âI wish that each one of you could just be out in the hall to hear what it sounds like, because itâs really, really beautiful.â
An unforgettable moment backstage at David Geffen Hall as composer John Adams visited our choristers to share his gratitude. Performing his Pulitzer Prizeâwinning On the Transmigration of Souls alongside the @nyphilharmonic and @gustavodudamel has been an experience we will carry forever.
