After a successful launch of the “Jazz in The Sanctuary – South Shore” concert series in 2017, it has been an annual event at Messiah Baptist Church, 80 Legion Parkway, Brockton MA. This year’s concert will be available both live and virtually, on Saturday, December 4, 6:00 PM.

This promises to be another great addition to world-class music targeted for all ages. Eric Jackson, The Voice of WGBH, Jazz Radio, Boston, will be on hand as host.
