**SOUND VIEW PERFORMANCE POSTPONED**
Unfortunately we will have to postpone our performance at the Sound View Presbyterian Church that was scheduled to take place tomorrow, Saturday, February 9. The Nor'easter that has begun to touch down in New York City is said to bring heavy snow rates of one to two inches per hour along with possible wind gusts up to 50 mph. The National Weather service has issued a blizzard warning for the five boroughs through 1 p.m. Saturday. Although our performance is at 4PM we believe that it is safer to postpone our performance, especially since many of the attendees are senior citizens. The good news is that we have rescheduled the performance to Saturday, March 9, at 4PM! If you have already purchased your tickets you may use them for our March 9th performance. If you purchased tickets and can no longer attend please email us at info@HarlemKWProject.com so we may arrange your reimbursement. You may still purchase tickets to our March 9th performance by clicking here! Tickets are $25 for general admission, and $20 for students. Tickets may be purchased online via TicketRiver or at the door.
