Keystone State Boychoir @20 Podcast celebrates all that has become Commonwealth Youthchoirs. Journey with us, starting in 2001 when Steve Fisher and Joe Fitzmartin founded Keystone State Boychoir (KSB), to 2003 when Pennsylvania Girlchoir (PG) was created and the Commonwealth Youthchoir organization was established. Seven years of transformative music making the young people of KSB and PG culminated in the creation of the school partner program Find Your Instrument in 2008. In 2017 and 2018, CY welcomed the Garden State Girlchoir and New Jersey Boychoir across the river into the CY family. Today, in this 20th season, CY is transforming hundreds of lives through the power of making music together - one song at a time. Don't miss this nostalgic and inspiring sojourn launching in February of 2021 with host Steve Fisher and co-host Linda Deis, and featuring past and current Singers, Parents & Friends to tell this remarkable story.
