PS22 Chorus

The Webby Award-winning PS22 Chorus was formed in the year 2000. We are an ever-changing group of 5th graders from a public elementary school in Staten Island, New York. PS22 is NOT a "school for the arts," and the chorus is not a magnet program.  PS22 Chorus just features ordinary children achieving extraordinary accomplishments -- musically and otherwise.

PS22 Chorus has been featured on Oprah (twice!), Nightline, Good Morning America, MTV, Sesame Street, and, perhaps most notably, at the 2011 Academy Awards, closing the show with a stunning rendition of "Somewhere of Over The Rainbow!"

The kids have sung with Katy Perry, Gym Class Heroes, Phillip Phillips, Carrie Underwood, Queen Latifah, Tori Amos, Kylie Minogue, Jennifer Hudson, and a host of other amazing artists!  Additionally, the chorus has performed for President Obama, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Stevie Nicks and a host of others.  The group even sang backup vocals on the critically acclaimed album Manners from Passion Pit!
