From Betsy:

Good morning everyone on this beautiful day!

Hope you all had a great “vacation” week!

Just a quick reminder that we will be resuming rehearsals this Wednesday evening February 26 (youth chorus at 6:15 and full chorale at 7) in the third floor music room in the McGlynn middle school. NEW MEMBERS ALWAYS WELCOME!

Happy Presidents’ Day everyone!

Just a quick reminder that because, as you know, this is school vacation week, there is NO REHEARSAL this Wednesday evening, February 19th, but I will look forward to seeing you all next Wednesday, February 26th (youth chorus at 6:15PM and full chorale at 7 PM), once again in the third floor music room at the McGlynn Middle School).

Enjoy this beautiful day, and have a wonderful week!

Rehearsals Underway for New Medford Community Chorale YOUTH Chorus!

Rehearsals have begun for the Medford Community Chorale’s newly formed Youth Chorus. Boys and girls in grades 3 and up began rehearsing on January 29th. The chorus, directed by Betsy Pesce and accompanied by Holly Zagaria, rehearses on Wednesday evenings at 6:15pm in the third floor music room in the McGlynn Middle School, and welcomes new members!

The group will be featured in the Medford Community Chorale’s spring concert, which is scheduled for Sunday, May 31st at 2pm in the Distler Concert Hall in the Granoff Music Center at Tufts University, at the corner of College Avenue and Talbot Avenue.

The group invites anyone who likes to sing – youth singers (grades 3 and up) and adult singers (high school and above) – to consider joining the Medford Community Chorale or Youth Chorus!

For further information, please contact Betsy Pesce, director of the chorale and youth chorus at 617-335-8155 or at elizabethpesce@comcast.net.

From Betsy:

Good morning everyone! Thanks for another great rehearsal on Wednesday evening. I just wanted to give you a heads up that because of a prior scheduling conflict, we need to rehearse on the stage in the first floor theater at the McGlynn middle school this Wednesday evening, February 5th (youth chorus at 6:15 and full chorale at seven).

Just a reminder that both the full chorale (high school and up) and the youth chorus (grade 3 and up) always welcome new members!

Look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday evening!

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all having a good week.

Thanks again so much to all those of you who were able to be with us for our first rehearsal for the season last Wednesday evening. I think we got off to a good start!

So looking forward to seeing all of you this coming Wednesday evening January 29 at 7 PM. (I am beginning youth chorus rehearsals this week with a little group of the children from 6:15-7pm).

Have a great couple of days and I’ll see you then!

Thanks again,
Betsy

Happy Martin Luther King Day everyone!
