Southborough residents are invited to St. Mark’s gleeful celebration of music. It’s the 25th anniversary of the school’s annual a capella festival:
The Wick Choral Festival was established in 1992 in memory of Myron A. Wick, SM Class of 1933 in honor of his lifelong enjoyment of singing, through the generosity of the Wick family and friends.
In addition to their students, the free concert includes groups from area high schools (including Algonquin), and each night features a college ensembles. This year, two groups from Tufts University will grace the hall.
