“Festival of Carols,” Sunday, Dec. 11, 2 p.m.
The Chelmsford Community Band will present its annual holiday concert on Sunday, Dec. 11. This year’s program, entitled “A Festival of Carols,” will focus on both familiar and nontraditional seasonal music as well as an audience singalong, baked holiday goods, and a performance by local soprano soloist Jeanne Masterman.
The music starts at 2 p.m. at the Chelmsford Senior Center, 75 Groton Road, in North Chelmsford. Admission is free, but donations will be accepted to help support the band’s rehearsal space and sheet music purchases. Suggested donations at the door are $5 for children and $10 for adults.
The Chelmsford Community Band was founded in 1972 and is a volunteer group of adult musicians who bring live music to the greater Chelmsford area. The concert band and jazz ensemble both perform several concerts throughout the year and on Chelmsford Common every summer.
