2024 US Tour: "A Different Song"

The Jerusalem Youth Chorus is traveling to Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Boston, and Vancouver (for TED 2024) between March 29 and April 14, to share our music and message in this critical time for Palestinians and Israelis. Find out more and buy tickets here!

The power of the Jerusalem Youth Chorus goes deeper than just our music.

Our unique model of music and dialogue programming provides a transformative experience for our singers that yields both friendship and understanding on an individual and collective level across lines of religion, nationality, language, and culture. We go beyond simply singing together, delving deeper into one another’s identities, life experiences, communal narratives, religious traditions, and national histories through dialogue, all within the safe space of the musical ensemble and the strong personal bonds and community it creates. How does it work? What is it like to be a member of our chorus? Let us share our stories with you.
