PLEASANTVILLE, NY — The Hudson Chorale, a 70-voice community chorus, received a grant from ArtsWestchester and the New York State Council on the Arts.

The grant gave the group support for outreach to give young people and underserved local families more access to the arts. The grant also supported its January program of classical music performed twice last weekend to capacity audiences at the Chapel at Maryknoll in Ossining.

It featured Beethoven’s Mass in C, Haydn’s Paukenmesse (Mass in Time of War), and Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus, with full orchestra and professional soloists.
