Francisco J. Núñez, a MacArthur Genius Fellow, founded the Young People’s Chorus of New York City in 1988 to harness the power of music to fulfill the potential of children of any cultural or economic background — even to unforeseen levels of artistry. Each year, more than 1,400 youths ages seven to 18 benefit musically, academically, and socially in a variety of at-school and after-school programs. Tonight, the Chorus performs at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater, 10 Columbus Circle, fifth fl. Mar. 7, 7 p.m. Tickets begin at $35 at 212-721-6500.
