Founded in 1982, the Iowa Youth Chorus, formerly the Des Moines Children’s Chorus, conducts choirs of young people ranging in ages from 8 to 18. The organization has several satellite choirs throughout the state including those in Pella, Newton, Perry and Urbandale. During the 2000-2001 season, the group held 131 performances for 65,600 people. At this time, the Iowa Youth Chorus works with youth from 259 different schools. The expanded space and heightened awareness expected from The Temple address will allow the organization to add new programming and increase significantly the number of chorus members as well as performance activities.
