Boston City Singers was founded in the Spring of 1995 by Jane Money as a Dorchester-based satellite division of Youth pro Musica to provide outstanding music training opportunities to low and moderate income inner-city youth in the communities in which they live. Boston City Singers became a separate non-profit agency in July 2003, with its own Board of Directors, Board of Advisors, staff, volunteers, and budget. The organization has grown each year since launching with 70 students in 2003; in FY’11 we served nearly 350 young people aged 3-18. Eighty percent of the students live in Boston’s urban neighborhoods of Dorchester, Mattapan, Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, Brighton, and South Boston. Singers literally grow up through a continuum of choral music instruction and performance with youth development activities interwoven throughout.
