The Jerusalem Youth Chorus is a choral and dialogue program for Palestinian and Israeli youth in Jerusalem. Our mission is to provide a space for these young people from East and West Jerusalem to grow together in song and dialogue.
Through the co-creation of music and the sharing of stories, we empower youth in Jerusalem with the responsibility to speak and sing their truths, as they become leaders in their communities and inspire singers and listeners around the world to work for peace, justice, inclusion, and equality.
The Jerusalem Youth Chorus is traveling to Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Boston, and Vancouver between March 29 and April 14, 2024 to share our music and message in this critical time for Palestinians and Israelis. The US tour is bookended by a high-profile performance in Los Angeles to be announced, and a livestreamed performance at TED 2024, TED’s flagship conference, in Vancouver.
The chorus has continued to meet and rehearse weekly in Jerusalem since the events of October 7, collaborating to coordinate safe transportation and to provide a safe space for the youth of East and West Jerusalem to meet, to sing, to talk, and to grow together. We are now thrilled and grateful to be able to bring the chorus from Jerusalem for concerts in North America to uplift and amplify the work of this phenomenal group of young people.
