History

The Children's Chorus was founded in the fall of 1988 by Director John Fleischman, Jr. to provide talented young singers with a challenging performing experience, in a higher level learning situation. Standards of excellence are pursued through self-discipline, confidence, respect and enjoyment of quality choral music. Emphasis is placed on proper vocal technique, breathing, music reading, and interpretation.

The Buffalo Niagara Youth Chorus program includes four choirs, a Preparatory Choir, a Concert Choir, and the Chamber Choir; as well as a Pop, Boradway & Jazz Ensemble. BNYC is composed of approximately 100 singers, ages 9-18 who come from school districts and private schools from all over Western New York.
