The concert, slated for the Patriots Theater at the Trenton War Memorial, will feature vocalist and pianist Michael Cavanaugh, and be directed by Michael Krajewski, Philly Pops music director.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the patients and residents of St. Lawrence Rehabilitation Center and Morris Hall, Lawrenceville, which provides retirement and assisted living facilities.
