The Medford Community Chorale and Youth Chorus presents its annual holiday concert at Marsha Caron Theatre at Medford High School. Note that the concert will take place on a Saturday evening, as opposed to the typical Friday. The concert, entitled “Happy Holidays,” will be a celebration of the season, featuring a variety of classical, Hanukkah, popular, sacred, and seasonal holiday classics. Proceeds from the concert program book will be donated to Medford’s Hearts of Life Food Pantry, a nonprofit organization that supports the needs of those in extreme poverty and empowers them around their deficiencies in health, food, water, education, and housing.

The Medford Community Chorale provides performance opportunities in the art of choral singing for residents of Medford and surrounding communities; presents choral performances to the public twice a year; and performs at nursing homes and special community events. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings. The chorale welcomes new members; if interested, contact music director Betsy Pesce at elizabethpesce@comcast.net or 617-335-8155.
