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 between 150-200 singers in grades K5-12th throughout its 4 ensembles and summer camp.

GYC’s 2023 Summer on Stage music camp and music video project is July 18-21 in downtown Greenville. This year, singers are joined by guest Broadway artists, Pat Dunn and Siri Howard, as we rehearse, audio record, film, and perform together in concert.

This 2023-2024 season, in addition to regular winter and spring concerts, GYC is again performing for the opening night of the Swamp Rabbits hockey season and singing with the International Ballet and the Greenville Symphony Orchestra in the December 2023 production of The Nutcracker at the Peace Center.

Additionally, GYC will join the Greenville Symphony Orchestra for the annual Christmas celebration, Holiday at Peace, and for our spring concert, A Choral Celebration will be held at the Gunter Theatre in downtown Greenville.
