About the program…
YPCC's Spring Cycle and Concert, Nurture the Neighborhood, celebrates the diverse tapestry that is Cincinnati - the art, the music, the food, the people, the culture. Against the backdrop of a global pandemic, the connections that music creates have never felt more important. Singing has the unique power to bring people together because when we share songs, we amplify a community of voices. YPCC is proud to continue to bring in-person choral music performances back to Cincinnati with this program.
A note of thanks…
The YPCC board of directors, staff, and singers are grateful for your presence today. This year, we pledged to provide free or reduced-cost programming so that we could share music in accessible, creative – and often unconventional - ways. Thanks to a partnership with Cincinnati Parks, we continue that pledge with Nurture the Neighborhood.
Today's concert would not be possible without the dedication of our 1,200+ young professional singers and the continuing support of community members like you. If you enjoyed today's concert, we hope you consider an online donation by clicking the button below. Next year, we launch into YPCC’s 10th season and celebrate a decade of music-making and community-building. Gifts of any size will help YPCC continue bringing people together with joyful music.
