GOSHEN, NY — The Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame will hold its annual holiday concert at 7 p.m. on Thursday, December 7 at the museum. 

Goshen High School’s varsity choir and Jazz Voices Ensemble return for their 22nd appearance. The choir is a  group of singers composed of students from all four high school grades. The Jazz Voices perform various styles of jazz music from the older classics to selections written by the latest jazz composers.

Returning to the concert’s musical lineup are the Yuletide Carolers, an authentically costumed Victorian vocal quartet from New York City. The carolers will greet guests entering the museum with festive songs, and will also appear later in the program.

The evening’s concert will end with the traditional audience participation number, “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” Refreshments will be served in the Carriage Room.

Seating is limited and available on a first-come first-served basis. You can arrive early and tour the museum and its festive halls, and visit the Winner’s Circle Gift Shop for holiday shopping.

Admission costs $5 per person, and the fee is waived for museum members.

The Harness Racing Museum will again be a drop point for the Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots program, which distributes toys as gifts to needy children in the community.

If you are unable to attend the concert but wish to join the Toys for Tots efforts, you can drop off new unwrapped toys in the museum’s main lobby by Saturday, December 16.

If you have not booked your business holiday party, there are a few dates still available at the museum. Call for details at 845/294-6330.
