“Young Singers is not only important for my child but important for us as parents. (My daughter) is in a safe place where she can do what she likes the most, singing! Music has helped her to improve her grades and to keep focus on what she needs to do. YSPB has changed her life for the better.”
Testimonials like this have been said about Young Singers of the Palm Beaches for 20 years. The children’s choral non-profit, also known as YSPB, has been creating beautiful music by bringing children together to develop harmony onstage and in life.
Young Singers began in 2003 to fill the need for the loss of arts and music in schools. The organization has continued to grow, and as it begins its 20th Season this August YSPB is launching a new South County Choir to serve families in the southernmost part of the county.
Thanks to funding from Impact 100, YSPB will be offering its award-winning choral program to families in the south part of the county who find it difficult to travel to their Kravis Center based choir rehearsals. Their South County Choir will be at the Boynton Beach Arts and Cultural Center. Auditions are in August and September for children in grades 2-8. Those interested can visit www.yspb.org/audition to learn more.
YSPB’s Kravis Center based choir serves singers in grades 2-12; divided into five different choirs, and ensemble choirs which perform out in the community.
Singers learn core vocal techniques like posture, breathing, diction, vowel articulation, reading music and sight singing. In addition to performing throughout our area in ensemble choirs, Young Singers produces two large production concerts a season presented on the main stage of the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts.

Young Singers of the Palm Beaches is sponsored in part by the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County, Palm Beach County Tourism and Development Council, Discover the Palm Beaches, The State of Florida: Division of Arts and Culture and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture.
