Greenville Youth Chorale (GYC) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit choral arts organization based in Greenville, S.C. with the mission to develop and inspire young singers through excellent choral performance and instruction. Each season, GYC serves nearly 150 singers in grades K5-12th through its 4 ensembles and summer camp.

Our 2023 “Summer on Stage” music camp and music video project is scheduled for July 18-21 in downtown Greenville. This year, singers are joined by guest Broadway artists, Pat Dunn and Siri Howard, with credits from “Les Miserables,” “Sound of Music,” “Phantom,” and more.
