On Sunday, March 30 at 5:30pm Faith McCoy makes her Carnegie Hall debut! The upcoming concert represents a tremendous milestone in her professional career, as well as a special opportunity to encourage and support the classical performing arts among minority youth in our community; the promotion of the classical performing arts among young children who might not otherwise gain such exposure. As such, a portion of the proceeds generated by the concert will go directly to efforts which promote the advancement of the classical arts among minority children.
Bethesda Covenant is tremendously proud of her, and encourages all its members and friends to support her in this event! For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit her website www.faithmccoy.com
