Bistro Night
On Wednesday, October 4th Redeemer Hoboken held our first "Bistro Night" at the Elysian Cafe in Hoboken, in an effort to raise money for the Hoboken High school Music Program. Some of our very own singers from Broadway and off Broadway shared their music from all over the world including songs from France, Italy, London, and America. The event was a success and with the efforts of the musicians and support of family, friends and community we were able to raise $500 to support the music program.
More events will be coming soon. Our next event will be a bluegrass night and will hopefully take place in the beginning of the new year.
