JERSEY CITY – North River Sing Community Chorus, a Jersey City-based group devoted to The Great American Songbook, will host its second-ever concert on Friday, June 12 at 8 p.m. at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, 83 Wayne St. (between Jersey and Barrow) in downtown Jersey City.
The program will include works by Stephen Sondheim, Fats Waller, George and Ira Gershwin, Jersey City native Jerry Herman, and other 20th century songwriting greats. A coffee and pastries reception will follow the hour-long performance.
Admission is free and open to the public (with a requested donation of $20 per person).
North River Sing was founded last year to meet the untapped need for a community chorus in greater Jersey City. With more than 30 members hailing primarily from Bayonne, Hoboken, and Jersey City, the group has also attracted singers from Livingston, Rutherford, and Teaneck.
