MUSYCA Children’s Choir is a multiracial, multicultural choral music education organization, shaping the future by making a difference in the lives of children and youth through musical excellence. MUSYCA rehearsals, music classes, and performances take place during after-school hours and on weekends in a community setting. The children study and perform a varied musical repertoire, consisting of high-quality, age-appropriate choral music for young people, varied in style, time period, and character. MUSYCA In-School program serves children in partnership with local schools, providing instruction in choral singing, musicianship, and recorders. The choir provides many performance and recording opportunities for the students throughout each year and participates in outreach and collaborations with community organizations, performing arts groups, composers, and artists. MUSYCA’s student-led outreach initiative, Nurturing Association of Young Artists (NAYA) provides senior citizens in nursing homes with intergenerational activities and performances. MUSYCA serves children and youth ages 3-21 in Los Angeles County and neighboring communities. Most of the students come from financially disadvantaged families and attend Title 1 public schools.
