The award-winning Young Women’s Choral Projects of San Francisco (YWCP) transforms the lives of young women through exceptional artistry in choral performance and brings the expressive power of their music to the community, nation, and the world. Founded in 2012 by Dr. Susan McMane, and now led by Canadian conductor Dr. Matthew Otto, YWCP includes six levels of choral experience for young women ages 4-18 from across the San Francisco Bay Area. Through YWCP, participants of diverse socio-ethnic backgrounds find their voices as singers, artists, and women in a nurturing environment that empowers them to achieve artistic and personal excellence.
