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.

So hoping many of you will consider joining us. On May 20, 2022, we will present our Spring Concert. (This is the concert we were preparing for back in 2020 when Covid brought everything to a screeching halt! 😮

(Please note:  In accordance with the protocols of the Medford Public  Schools, all persons must wear a mask at all times, regardless of vaccination status.)

The concert is also on the Medford Community Media (Medford TV) site.

From Betsy:

We were thrilled to be able to present our first live public performance in nearly 2 years this past Friday evening (Dec 10) at the Caron Theatre at Medford High School!

Many thanks to all those who helped make this special event – “Jingle All the Way” – possible … our chorus members, parents, musicians, Medford Public Schools staff members … and of course, our generous sponsors. Thanks, also, to the 300+ folks who came out to support us by attending the concert! We are so grateful to all of you.

Looking forward to a spring concert in May!
