If you missed Mark Togerson in Medford — as I did — you can catch the more experimental version of Mark’s bands, known as Kadanz Jazz, outdoors at the Growing Center in Somerville on Thursday, August 4th at 7pm.

Here’s a video from last year’s concert. Thanks to Lisa Brukilacchio, for sharing this.

The MCC Spring Concert will air on the local Medford TV access channel on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:30pm.

Medford is Channel 3 in Medford on Comcast. (Comcast channels cannot be viewed outside Medford.) On FIOS, it’s channel 47.

The concert will also be broadcast on Malden Access TV. Schedule to follow!

And our friend Mark Torgerson will be performing THURSDAY night at the Medford Public Library!

From Betsy —

Good evening everyone!

I hope you are all enjoying the beginning of summer.

A couple of our talented chorus members are going to be performing in the area next month, and I wanted to give you all a heads up and the information, in case you would like to attend either or both performances!

HS address:

159 Church Street, Wilmington MA

OUTDOOR performance • Bring lawn chairs, blankets, and umbrellas in case of rain.

2 • Mark Torgerson (bass and guitarist), and four talented fellow musicians we will be performing “Jazz Standards with a Latin Flavor” at the Charlotte and William Bloomberg MEDFORD Public Library on Thursday evening, July 21st, from 7 to 8:30 PM (please see attached flyer).

Two great ways to spend a summer evening!

On Wednesday, June 8th, the Medford Community Chorale presented a ‘mini’ version of our May 20th concert. We performed for a very enthusiastic audience at Medford MA Senior Center, 101 Riverside Ave. 

It was not the full Chorale, but a solid contingent, led by our music director, Betsy Pesce, and our accompanist, Dr. Holly Zagaria.

That’s it. That’s the post. 🙂

We did a thing! Betsy, Holly, and Julie spoke to Steve Bertorelli on “The Stevie B Show with The Medford Community Chorale.”

The Stevie B Show will also be shown this Thursday night at 7 p.m. on Medford cable channel 3.

Rehearsals are underway for the Medford Community Chorale & Youth / Y oung Adult Chorus spring concert, scheduled for Friday, May 20 at 7 PM in the Caron Theatre at Medford High School, and new members are welcome! The concert, which is entitled “Lift Every Voice and Sing!”, is a celebration of the joy of music and singing, and proceeds from the concert program book will be donated to the new Medford Public Library. 

There are no auditions and the only requirement is a love of singing! Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings in the auditorium in the McGlynn Middle School here in Medford: youth / young adult chorus at 6 PM and full chorus from seven to 8:30 PM. 

For more information or to join, please contact director Betsy Pesce at elizabethpesce@comcast.net or 617-335-8155.

The Medford Community Chorale, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is supported in part by grants from the ArtsAlive Medford Foundation, the Passim Iguana Music Fund, and the Medford Arts Council, a local commission that is supported by the Mass Cultural Council and the City of Medford.
