Westborough Hundredth Town Chorus Marking 75th Anniversary

WESTBOROUGH, MA — One of the oldest local choral groups will mark its 75th anniversary this month with a free concert at the senior center. The Hundredth Town Chorus formed in 1949 out of the Westborough Women's Club, and has performed all across the region over the years.

Here's more from a Hundredth Town Chorus news release:

The Hundredth Town Chorus is celebrating its 75th Anniversary. In honor of the occasion, the chorus will present a free public concert, "Sentimental Journey," on Sunday, April 28th at 2:00 pm at the Westborough Senior Center, 4 Rogers Rd.

HTC is an organization of women who enjoy singing four-part harmony in a relaxing and fun environment. The chorus was founded in 1949 by the Westborough Women's Club, with a mission to share the joy of music by singing and entertaining at area nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and senior centers. Today's chorus is made up of members from all over Worcester County. Music includes holiday classics, Broadway favorites, popular music, and folk songs, as well as an occasional classical number.

HTC is supported, in part, by grants from the Westborough and Northborough Cultural Councils, local agencies supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Congregation B'nai Shalom graciously donates rehearsal space. HTC is a 501(c)3 nonprofit.
