You know it’s the beginning of summer in this area when The Stoneham Chamber of Commerce kicks off the annual Stoneham Chamber of Commerce Summer Concert Series! This year the Series begins on Thursday, June 23 and will continue through to August 4. The first concert evening will feature the band The Sax Factory, which will be preceded first at 6:30 with a children’s patriotic parade Chamber member Hallmark Health System’s North Suburban Child & Family Resource Network will coordinate and lead the parade on its course through the Common. Then at 6:45, the Stoneham Chamber of Concert scholarship award presentation. This year the Chamber is proud to award three high school seniors with its Kathleen E. Bray, John F. Mahoney, Jr. and Chamber Business scholarships. Recipients are Stoneham High School Senior Ashley Doherty, Essex Technical High School Senior Sarah Cantwell, and Mount Alvernia High School Senior Maggie Pendenza.

The nine-piece Sax Factory is comprised of top jazz musicians from Northern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. The instrumentation consists of soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones with a rhythm section of guitar, bass, drums, and keyboard. The sound is lush, smooth, laid-back jazz with just the right amount of swing to keep it lively, fun, and appealing to all ages! From on-the-edge-of-the-seat, up-tempo, swinging bop-oriented jazz to traditional jazz standards, the Sax Factory will offer a wonderful range of jazz styles.
