Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village, New York City |
Stuyvesant Town is a large private residential development on the Lower East
Side of Manhattan in New York City. Stuyvesant Town was named after Peter Stuyvesant,
the last Director-General of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam, whose farm occupied the site
in the seventeenth-century.
This is our 4th Annual invited visit to New York City to share
holiday music in partnership with the "Stuy-Town Holiday Open House" for its residents and
visitors. The Choir joins with the U.S. Marines in their "Toys for Tots" collection program
to make the holidays both meaningful and festive, and with the operations staff or Stuyvesant
Town in concert with their annual Holiday Wine, Pastry and Chocolate Open House Tasting parties.
