Free Synagogue Hosts Interfaith Choral Festival
The choir from Flushing's Hindu Temple performed at last year's Interfaith Choral Festival at the Free Synagogue of Flushing. This year's event takes place May 18.

Music is a universal language that everyone understands, and so the Free Synagogue of Flushing will present an Interfaith Choral Festival featuring music from nine diverse houses of worship on Sunday, May 18 at 3 p.m. at 41-60 Kissena Blvd. between Main Street and Sanford Avenue, Flushing. The event is free and open to the public. All participating religious groups are based in Flushing, but the concert will have an international flavor, reflecting the religious diversity of the area. It will feature music from the Free Synagogue's Cantor and Choir, the Buddhist Society of New York, the Church on the Hill, the Hindu Temple, the Macedonia African Methodist Episcopal Church, Mother's Choir of the YWCA (a Korean group), St. George's Episcopal/Anglican Church, St. Luke's Episcopal Church and St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church. The concert is among the events the Free Synagogue offers throughout the year to promote peace and unity among all religions. There is free parking adjacent to the synagogue.
