The Wintergarden down at the World Financial Center hosts a lot of free cultural events, and this one was a doozie. Gospel choirs large and small, from as near as the Bronx and as far as South Carolina, competed in youth and adult divisions. The music went on all day. A great big echoing space for it, gorgeous sunlight sneaking between giant curtains, a good cup of tea whenever you needed one... what could be bad? The place was packed and the joint was jumpin'.
