The packed GHS auditorium was filled with wonderful energy Dec. 4 as the Franklin County Community Chorus sang holiday songs from many genres and honored a range of traditions, cultures and faiths.

Kudos to the masterful Paul Calcari, his terrific accompanist, Tim Rogers, and the spirited singers. On a personal note, I’m grateful to chorus members who’ve so warmly welcomed my mom, Céline, a recent transplant to Greenfield. The concert was a gift to our community, and Mr. Calcari’s talents and generosity are blessings in our midst.
