The concert also featured children from the Young People's Chorus of New York City, the Ronald McDonald House, and Salute to Music, The New York Pops' free music lesson program. The concert was sold-out with 2,804 in the Carnegie Hall audience. The post-concert dinner dance was attended by 350 guests at The Plaza Hotel.
