A week from Sunday, Shir Joy Chorus is holding it’s winter concert.
If that statement sounds familiar, that’s because I wrote the same thing in late January. Unfortunately, the February 4th concert was cancelled the day prior due to Covid. (Since I don’t generally work on weekends, I didn’t see that news until it was too late to warn readers.)
The event was rescheduled to Sunday, February 25th.
As I previously wrote, the theme, “Songs of Light & Hope”, will reflect “the group’s love of music and hopes for a brighter future for all of us.”
The community chorus dedicated to learning, sharing, & performing Jewish music will feature selections in both Hebrew and English.
The concert will include pieces by Batya Levine, Naomi Shemer, Beth Schafer, Nefesh Mountain, Michael Boino, Ernest Bloch, and Shir Joy director Nan AK Gibbons.
The concert will begin at 7:00 pm at at Congregation B’nai Shalom, 117 East Main St., Westborough. Admission is $15 with tickets sold at the door. You can also pre-purchase them online here.
Shir Joy Chorus is a Central MA Jewish Community Chorus. The chorus is non-auditioned and open to everyone, regardless of ethnicity or religious background.
*For the last few years, the chorus’ winter concerts had been virtual.
