In May 1989, a young talented musician George Mensah-Essilfie, who was then the principal organist of the Winneba Ebenezer Methodist Choir, came up with the brilliant idea of training the children who accompanied their parents to choir practice in a junior choir.

John Francis Arthur-Yamoah, who at the budding age of 14 was already an assistant conductor of the church choir, assisted him.

In March 1998 the choir was incorporated and registered as a non-profit making association, with the objective of providing a platform for the education and development of the youth in Winneba and surrounding towns through the medium of singing. It is inter-denominational.

The Winneba Youth Choir boasts of being the only choir, which has performed for three visiting American Presidents – President Bill Clinton, President George Bush, and President Barrack Obama. Also they were around to welcome Former German President H.E Horst and Mrs Eva Luisa Kohler as well as the Prince of Orange of the Netherlands and his wife.

The Choir has toured almost all continents in the world and apart from giving people the real African repertoire of music, done some collaboration across the continents as well.

With 30 years of existence, the Choir has contributed positively to the development of over 1,000 youths in its catchments area.
