University of Puerto Rico - Ponce Campus Choir at the People's Church

Join CENTRO and the UPR - Ponce Campus Choir at the People's Church in East Harlem for a live musical performance! The University of Puerto Rico in Ponce concert choir is a non-profit organization that works as a creative space of excellence, where students of different specialties with economic needs come together to perform traditional Puerto Rican music. You can enjoy this free concert at the People's Church in Harlem, formally known as the First Spanish United Methodist Church, a landmark that has been in this community for almost a hundred years and has a rich political history in the East Harlem community: occupied by the Young Lords, the Puerto Rican counterpart to the Black Panthers in the Civil Rights Movement!
