About the MCC

The Medford Community Chorale & Youth/Young Adult Chorus is directed by Betsy Pesce, accompanied by Dr. Holly Zagaria.

The Medford Community Chorale (MCC), which was formed in November 2019, provides educational and performance opportunities in the joyful art of choral singing for ALL interested youth and adult singers who are residents of Medford and surrounding communities.  The MCC has grown to 90+ adult and 30+ youth/young adult (and family!) singers, and always welcomes new members!

The Chorale, which presents choral performances to the public twice a year, gave its first public performance at the Medford (MA) Inauguration at the Chevalier Theatre on January 5, 2020.  A youth/young adult chorus was added when the Chorale resumed rehearsals at the end of January 2020 and is featured in each concert.  After the pandemic brought everything to a halt in March 2020, the chorale went on to create six “virtual choir” videos, which are available for viewing on YouTube: “Medford Community Chorale.”  The group recently presented its 10th “live” concert, “You’re the Inspiration!” MCC has also performed at the Senior Center, a local nursing home, and at special community events, and a portion of the proceeds from concert program ad books are donated to a local charity/organization.

      Hi Paula — My apologies in taking so long to get back to you. We’ve had three in-person rehearsals, but we’re early enough in the process that you’re more than welcome to jump in! We rehearse Wednesdays at 7 pm at the McGlynn Middle School in Medford MA. If you’re still interested, please contact Betsy Pesce at elizabethpesce@comcast.net. Thanks! ~ Julie

      Oh, my goodness, Carol, this is Betsy Pesce. My humblest apologies! Somehow I missed your lovely message after our spring concert four years ago!
      Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to write to us.

      I don’t know if you’ve attended any subsequent concerts… I hope so!

      But in any event, I can let you know well in advance that our 2026 holiday concert is scheduled for Friday, December 4 at Medford high school at 7 PM!

      Again, my sincerest apologies.

      Kindest regards,

      Betsy
