Our mission: to teach, to inspire, and to empower young singers to be life-long music makers who seek excellence in everything they do. The Youth Chorus of Kansas City was founded to provide students with the opportunity to pursue excellence through outstanding performance, to grow their skills and abilities, and to become leaders in their respective schools. Once weekly rehearsals are located in downtown Kansas City, to serve as a central location for students throughout the metro area. Founded by veteran educator, director and composer Ryan Main, the Youth Chorus of Kansas City aims to serve ambitious young singers from throughout the Kansas City area, regardless of regardless of race, color, economic class or creed.
