Grace Does Manhattan

Grace and her fellow schoolmates from the Green Hill High School Orchestra travel to New York City to appear in the Queens College Festival of Music held on campus at the Aaron Copeland School of Music.  But a first trip to NYC includes a visit to many of the city's wonderful sites as well as attending a Broadway show.
