This year CSPA announces an exciting new collaboration with The Young People's Chorus of New York City. The Chorus will bring its Cantare Division of 50-60 enchantaing youngsters to perform a concert at the Association's annual tree lighting celebration. Cantare is a division of the Young People’s Chorus of New York City, one of today’s finest and most influential youth choruses. Under the direction of Elizabeth Núñez, Cantare comprises 70 children from 10 to 15. They give 15 to 20 concerts each year, and this past summer traveled to Powell River in British Columbia to take part in the International Kathaumixw Choral Festival. Cantare’s program today will include several songs from the YPC’s new recording Coolside of Yuletide, an exciting new sound for traditional carols. The Young People’s Chorus of New York City was founded in 1988 by its Artistic Director Francisco J. Núñezwith a commitment to diversity and musical excellence, and today, more than 1100 children of all ethnic, religious, and economic backgrounds participate annually through the chorus’s core after-school program and its Satellite program in New York City schools. The YPC is in residence at the 92Y. More information about the Young People's Chorus of New York City can be found on
their website: Elizabeth Núñez, Associate Conductor and Director of Partner and Satellite School Programs for the award-winning Young People's Chorus of New York City, conducts the Prelude and Cantare divisions. Mrs. Núñezreceived a Bachelor of Music Education at Lee University where she was awarded Music Education Graduate of the Year, and her Master of Music Education from the University of Oklahoma, where she also completed her Kodaly education certification.
