The SUNY Canton "Anointed Voices" Gospel Choir will hold a Hurricane Katrina relief benefit concert at 7 p.m. Friday Nov. 18, in the Kingston Theater, located in the Richard W. Miller Campus Center.

This wonderful evening of music is free and open to the public. Donations will be accepted to benefit the BET S.O.S Relief fund for victims of Katrina.

The SUNY Canton Gospel Choir has been active for more than 10 years, according to Anointed Voices President Niomi Bailey. "We perform gospel music with roots dating back to the days of slavery," said Bailey. "Gospel music carries messages of spirituality, harmony, and freedom that resonate throughout the world."
