Congregational Concert Chorale


​
Under the direction of Jenny Matteucci, the Congregational Concert Chorale is a community based choral group that performs three concerts per year as featured on  the Congregational Concert Series page. The group sings a wide variety or repertoire, with a concentration on large scaled works, many of which are accompanied by an orchestra. The Chorale is open to new members, but by nature the program requires a continuing weekly commitment.
