NCMC presents 23rd annual winter concert
The Northampton Community Music Center (NCMC) will present its 23rd annual winter concert at Northampton High School on Tuesday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m.
The concert will feature performances from three groups that are part of NCMC: the New Horizons Band of Western Mass, a music group composed of retired and senior adults with little or no formal musical education; High Definition, a women’s choir; and the Ujima Singers, an Afrocentric music collective.
In a press release, Survival Center executive director Heidi Nortonsmith said, “The Northampton Survival Center is delighted to be included in this festive, seasonal celebration. Client need for our food pantries in Northampton and Goshen has increased dramatically this year, particularly in recent weeks, and the support of individuals and organizations throughout the area has made it possible for us to increase our offerings in response. We’re grateful for NCMC’s partnership with us over many years, and we look forward to more collaborations to come!”
NCMC Executive Director Jason Trotta also said in a press release, “The Northampton Survival Center is such an important resource for our community. Using this performance opportunity to inspire awareness and generosity that can benefit so many is a win for all of us.”
The concert is free and open to the public, but donations will benefit the Northampton Survival Center.
