Established in 1990, the Young Angels Choir is a nonprofit organization comprised of over 50 boys and girls ranging from elementary to high school age. The mission of the Young Angels Choir is to bring together the many diverse communities that call Los Angeles their home through music and harmony. The members of the Choir meet on a weekly basis to practice their songs and perform for the community at various community events and functions. The Choir also promotes Korean culture and music through special arranged performances that include cultural fan dancing, folk songs and Korean folk instruments.
