Launched by the Minnesota Chorale in 2007, the Minneapolis Youth Chorus is an auditioned ensemble open to Minneapolis Public School students in grades 4 through 9. MYC seeks to enrich the lives of participants by providing them with opportunities to develop their musical gifts in an environment dedicated to the celebration of diversity and the pursuit of artistic excellence. The program is offered at no charge to participants: all costs are borne by the Minnesota Chorale.

MYC rehearses on Thursday afternoons from 4:45 to 6:30 p.m., and one Saturday morning per month during the school year. A one-week "choir camp" takes place during the summer, daily from 9 a.m. to noon, for new and returning singers. Admission to the chorus takes place via voice checks, scheduled this year for April 16 & 23 at Jefferson Community School, Minneapolis.
