Debbie Keeney, a member of the concert chorus, said she joined Memorial Congregational more than 20 years ago, drawn by the quality of the music department. It s just a great musical experience. We really don t have many things like this in Sudbury. This year we have a lot of very accomplished musicians, but that s certainly not a prerequisite. Richard Payne, also a Sudbury resident, began singing as a tenor in the spring concert six years ago at the suggestion of a friend in the Concord Chorus where he sings year-round.
Music is what makes the rat race possible.
You get exposed to it and get hooked. I m not a musician, just an amateur. Lucy Parker, a long-time resident of Wayland, has also been drawn to perform in the spring concert again and again. A violinist, Parker serves as concertmaster for the Schubert piece. I love the music, there s no question about that.
