Jane Money

Jane E. Money is the artistic and education director of Boston City Singers, which she founded in 1995 as a division of Youth Pro Musica, Greater Boston Youth Chorus. In 2003, Boston City Singers became a separate music and youth development program and currently serves over 500 young people throughout Boston and surrounding neighborhoods annually. Extending well beyond the traditional concept of a community youth chorus, Jane has worked with a team of skilled artists to develop a program rich in offerings, designed to engage and retain the young people of our inner city communities. Thanks to her creativity and insight, Boston City Singers combines dance, instrument instruction, a world rhythm ensemble, strong youth development, and extensive performance and cultural enrichment opportunities including biennial international touring.

She is the founding artistic director of Children’s Voices of Ireland, based on the Boston City Singers model. A native of New Zealand, she has been a resident of Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood for over 25 years. She is a former instructor with the Metropolitan Opera’s Urban Voices program in Boston, and director of youth choirs at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Wellesley, Massachusetts. She is immediate past president of the American Choral Directors Association R&S Standards Chair for Massachusetts. Jane is a frequent workshop presenter, speaking most often on establishing a successful urban music program, compelling repertoire, and the development of artistic standards. Her work with urban youth has most recently been recognized by the Saint Williams Dorchester Fund and the MA Arts|Learning Distinguished Community Arts Collaborative – Music Award.
