The Young People’s Chorus of New York City has announced the first season of “Out of the Vox,” a Short Film Series hosted by founder and artistic director Francisco J. Núñez.

“’Out of the Vox’ gives audiences the ultimate behind-the-scenes look at the amazing people behind world-class performances,” Núñez said in an official press release. “By sharing their journeys and what drives and inspires them, these artists are providing audiences with a deeper insight into their artistry. The conversations offer an intimate look into each artist’s lived experiences, which they bring onto the stage and into the studio every time they perform. Being able to share this with the public is an incredible honor.”

All the episodes feature Núñez in conversation with a renowned artist. Episode one features countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo while episode two, which premieres on Nov. 5, 2024 features a conversation with composer, singer, director / choreographer Meredith Monk. Then in December’s episode three, the spotlight shines on Joyce DiDonato. Episode four, set for release on Jan. 14, 2025 showcases baritone Lester Lynch.
