BYC Organization

Founded in 2012 by Darcy Morrissey as Bellevue Girlchoir. Soon Bellevue Boychoir was added to the organization and in 2016 Washington State approved the application for non-profit status under the name Bellevue Youth Choirs.
Bellevue Youth Choirs is comprised of a variety of choir levels serving youth in PreK through 12th grade. Choristers learn musicianship, vocal technique, performance skills, and participate in mainstage concerts, outreach and community events, and collaborations with the finest musicians and choral groups.
