Medford Community Chorale to host spring concert on May 20

  The Medford Community Chorale and Youth/Young Adult Chorus will be presenting their first Spring Concert on Friday, May 20 at 7 p.m. in the Caron Theatre at Medford High School (489 Winthrop St. in Medford). This season’s program, which is titled “Lift Every Voice and Sing!” will be a celebration of the joy of music and singing, and it will consist of a varied program of inspirational, popular Broadway and patriotic selections. Admission is free.

  A portion of the proceeds from the concert program book will be donated to the new Medford Public Library, and concert basket donations will benefit the people of Ukraine.

  This is actually the concert the groups were in the throes of preparing back in March 2020, when the pandemic hit and brought everything to a screeching halt, and so the theme of the program seems especially appropriate now, after the nearly two years it wasn’t possible for members to come together physically to sing. The chorus is very excited to be able to present it now.
