Musical Moments – MLK Memorial Choir

The Musical Moments recital series at the Geneva Public Library will feature the Geneva Martin Luther King Memorial Choir on Friday, February 9 starting at 7:30 p.m. The concert will last approximately an hour and is free and open to the public. Arriving early is advised to ensure seating.
For nearly 40 years the Geneva MLK Memorial Choir has provided uplifting, energetic gospel music at annual observances in Geneva, New York honoring the life and legacy of the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Under the direction and leadership of its founder, Patrisha Blue, the MLK Memorial Choir crosses cultural divides bringing together singers and musicians of various ethnic backgrounds and musical abilities to make a joyful, harmonious message of hope and perseverance. The choir also provides training and instruction for experienced choir directors, vocalists and musicians as well as newcomers to the gospel genre. The MLK Memorial Choir is an interdenominational choir whose membership is open to all.
Additional MLK Memorial Choir achievements include: being recognized and honored in the chambers of the NYS Legislature after performing at the State Capitol Building, performing in the televised broadcast of the New York Christian Times Annual Easter Program in New York City, and performing at the Women’s Rights National Historic Park in Seneca Falls, New York. The choir has also organized, promoted and hosted three day gospel music workshops and concerts featuring Grammy Award winning gospel artist Dr. Norman Hutchins, recording artist Troy Sneed, Timothy Wright Concert Choir and many others.
Musical Moments is possible thanks to the sustaining financial gifts from Jane and the efforts of volunteers. For information on how to volunteer for and support Geneva Public Library services, visit www.genevapubliclibrary.net/foundation-for-gpl.html
