Princeton Girlchoir’s sixth annual Children Making a Difference concert is set to benefit Trenton-based organization One Simple Wish.
Associate director Melissa (Keylock) Malvar started the tradition of the benefit concert in memory of her mother Adrienne Todd Keylock, who died in 1998. Each year, the benefit concert raises money for a different charitable organization in the community and educates audiences about services the non-profits provide.
Since the first Children Making a Difference concert five years ago, more than $10,000 has been raised for area non-profits.
This year the concert will raise funds for One Simple Wish. The choir members also organized an October collection of more than 250 personal care items for the Ohana Project at One Simple Wish.
The concert features The Grace Notes and Semi-Tones, along with this year’s guest choir, the Philadelphia Girls Choir, directed by Nathan Wadley.
Children Making a Difference concert is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Nov. 17 at Trinity Cathedral, 801 West State St., Trenton.
Admission is by donation, with a suggested donation of $10 per person. All donations are set to directly benefit One Simple Wish.
More Girlchoir music is in the air when Quarter Notes perform at the Fall Choral Exchange in conjunction with the American Boychoir School Training Choir and the Newark Boys Chorus Apprentice Choir, set for 4 p.m. Nov. 3 at the Princeton Center for Arts and Education, 75 Mapleton Road Princeton. Admission is free.
