Pilgrim Festival Chorus (PFC), a 90-member premier, welcoming, community choral ensemble, comprised of experienced vocalists from over 20 South Shore communities, seeks new singers, particularly tenor and bass voices, for its winter concert “Seven Joys of Christmas, Music to Celebrate the Season” on December 5th, and 6th at Church of the Pilgrimage. Newcomers with skill levels from amateur to professional are invited to learn about PFC by attending an open rehearsal without commitment and, if wishing to join, completing a Vocal Placement Session the following week by appointment. Rehearsals continue weekly throughout the winter concert cycle.
Celebrating its 27th anniversary beginning this fall, PFC is under the artistic direction of William B. Richter and Elizabeth Chapman Reilly. The chorus is dedicated to presenting diverse choral works that educate, enrich, and engage both its members and its audiences. A typical season begins with a festive holiday concert in early December. In mid-December, PFC hosts an annual Messiah and carol sing where the audience is invited to become the chorus in one of the most famous choral pieces ever written. The spring concert often features a larger work with orchestra and soloists. In June, Pilgrim Festival Singers, a division of PFC, performs concerts with repertoire drawn from Broadway and American traditions. Smaller volunteer groups serve the community by engaging in appearances at various local events.
New members of all voices are invited to join in September for our winter concert, in January for our spring concert, and in May for our summer concert, after attending an open rehearsal and completing a Vocal Placement Session (VPS). If you’d like to join Pilgrim Festival Chorus, please contact our Artistic Directors Elizabeth Chapman Reilly or William B. Richter to confirm attending an open rehearsal or just join us at Faith Community Church in Plymouth. Open rehearsal and Vocal Placement Session dates and times are listed on our events calendar.
