THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2023 Page 3 Sounds of Christmas concert December 17 T he North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra will make its traditional visit to Revere on Sunday, December 17 at 4:00 p.m. when Music Director Robert Lehmann conducts the annual Robert A. Marra Memorial "Sounds of Christmas" Concert at St. Anthony's Church. The concert has been a staple of Revere's holiday season since 1976. Admission is free to everyone who brings a generous donation of non-perishable food to benefi t the Revere Food Pantry. Concert co-chair Robert A. Marra Jr. expressed gratitude to the concert sponsors. "We are grateful for the support of the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, MassPort, Comcast, Astound Broadband, Action Emergency Services, and of course Bocchino Insurance," he said. "Co-chair of this concert Dom Bocchino stepped up in 2006 and Bocchino Insurance has been an integral part of this concert ever since." Marra also noted that Comcast has been involved in the concert going back to 1991. "It's a wonderful time for everyone, and a time of happiness and generosity," said Marra. "The Revere Food Pantry does such important work in our community, and the concert gives so many people the chance to help our neighbors." The concert program will include traditional holiday music and an original holidaythemed narration by a Revere High School student. "The concert bears my father's name," said Marra, "and I am sure he'd be so pleased that his beloved North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra carries on this tradition, and that an RHS student has a role in this concert."
