NEW ROCHELLE, NY — The award-winning, Mount Vernon Interfaith Community Choir will perform a joyous, moving concert of Gospel music, “Giving Thanks,” on Sunday, November 23, from 3:00 – 4:00 pm in the Ossie Davis Theater of the New Rochelle Public Library. The program will provide opportunities for reflection and rejoicing, setting the tone for the upcoming holiday season.

Directed by founder Maureen Wilson, the choir has appeared on national television and in prominent programs from Westchester, New York to Miami, Florida.
The program is made possible by the Friends of the New Rochelle Public Library. A donation of $2.00 for audience members 13 years and older is suggested at the door. Seating is on first-come, first-served basis to the capacity of the 138-seat theater.
