- Handel’s Messiah (3:30 pm) @ Pilgrim Congregational Church, 15 Common Street: The Messiah Community Chorus presents Handel’s Messiah Come ring in the holiday season with this concert event with chorus, orchestra and soloists. A portion of the proceeds from this concert will be donated to the Southborough Food Pantry. For ticket info and details, see dedicated post.
Updated (12/5/17 7:10 am): I was missing the Sunday date heading over Handel’s Messiah.
The “Messiah” date is NOT Dec.9 but Dec. 10th (correcting a piece you ran earlier). I’m in the chorus and planning on the tenth so check your date book. Pilgrim Church is such a perfect settting for this wonderful piece.
Do come…professional accompanist, some excellent soloists, and very gifted director…

Sorry about that. It was the date heading between Saturday and Sunday that was somehow missing. The linked story shows it as the 10th.
