Westborough Community Chorus Preps For 2023 Holiday Concert

WESTBOROUGH, MA — It's already time to start celebrating the holiday season: the Westborough Community Chorus has set dates for its annual concert, which in 2023 will feature selections from popular holiday movies.

Here's more from a Westborough Community Chorus news release:

The Westborough Community Chorus will present its annual holiday concert, “Merry Movie Melodies,” featuring songs from popular holiday films on Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m., and Dec. 3 and 2 p.m.

Director and Westborough native Andrew Milne has curated a variety of popular pieces from well-known holiday films, including "White Christmas," "Home Alone," and "Elf," as well as some unexpected selections, including a medley of songs featured in "Nightmare Before Christmas.

"With all the themes available to us for winter, I thought of one of the things that seems most integral to the holiday experience over the last few decades, movies! Most everyone has that movie they make sure they don't miss, the one that reminds them of holidays past, or the one that creates new traditions going forward," said Milne. "I tried to select from a variety of sources so that as many holiday movie favorites could be represented. I think that everyone will find at least one favorite throughout the show. Selfishly, I made sure one of mine, “Die Hard” (which is absolutely a Christmas movie), leads off the whole show."

WCC’s family-friendly performances are held at the Gibbons Middle School, 20 Fisher St., Westborough. Tickets are $15 Adults and $10 Seniors/Children/Students, and are available at the door or online at westboroughcommunitychorus.square.site.
