The evening will feature the Hudson Valley Gospel Festival Choir directed by Dinesa Hansen and the Hudson Lily of the Valley Praise Dance Team led by Linda Molina. The mistress of ceremonies for the evening is Pastor Evelyn Clarke of New Progressive Baptist Church in Kingston. For the 2024 concert, the Hudson Valley Gospel Festival committee chose a choir from each county represented by Arts Mid-Hudson.

Hailing from Orange County, “For His Glory” is the His Glory Conference Worship Team comprised of singers from various churches in Orange County. Established in 2015, the choir is a mix of singers from the first year to new members post-pandemic. They desire to Glorify the Lord with their gifts and make a joyful sound unto the Lord, under the direction of Pastor April Kenan.

The Ulster County Mass Choir is a 25-member community choir, directed by Reverend Dennis Washington specializing in Gospel music. Established in 1999, the choir started as the MLK Community Outreach Choir to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dennis Washington, who has directed the choir for 15 years, and shares these duties with Elder Albert Cook.
