Music will include Golden Tones favorites, summertime tunes, and songs that have stood the test of time for over 100 years!

Love music? Retired or semi-retired? The Golden Tones, a MetroWest community chorus, announces the start of its 23rd season, welcoming new members who are in their retirement years.
There are NO AUDITIONS; the only requirement is a love of making good music! All voices improve the sound of the chorus, you don’t have to read sheet music to participate, and we also welcome members who prefer to assist with the program “backstage.” Come enjoy the opportunity to bring joyful music into the community and the company of like-minded music-lovers.

The Golden Tones chorus practices and provides enriching entertainment for senior citizen facilities, schools, faith communities and public events. Our members are men and women of retirement age who sing and dance to lift spirits, have fun, and promote health and social engagement to benefit our audiences and ourselves. The chorus was recently recognized as a Best Practice in the Creativity and Aging study sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts.
