Assabet Valley Mastersingers (AVM) is a 70 voice chorale, which draws members from 24 towns, including Northborough. It is in its 40th season.
AVM’s next concert, Israel in Egypt-Handel, will be held at Congregation B’nai Shalom located at 117 East Main Street in Westborough on Saturday, November 10 at 8 p.m. The concert will feature the orchestra and Catherine Hedberg, Mezzo Soprano and Jonas Budris, Tenor.
Handel’s grand oratorio Israel in Egypt is one of Handel’s most popular and relies on the chorus rather than soloists to tell the exciting story of the people of Israel. Its vivid word painting, where the sound of the music imitates the meaning of the text, makes this work unique and especially exciting for listener and performer alike.

Children under 12 receive free admission to concerts when accompanied by an adult.
The December concert, Messiah Sing, will be held on Sunday, December 16 at 3:30 p.m. at First Church Marlborough located at 37 High Street in Marlborough.
AVM’s Messiah Sing has become a holiday tradition to which many from throughout the region look forward. It is an opportunity to not only hear superb soloists perform, but an opportunity for all to participate in singing the choruses of the Christmas portion of Handel’s Messiah.
