A music group that plays to sold-out mainland audiences every December is making its Island debut Saturday, Dec. 17.

On Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon at the Old Whaling Church, the Island Community Chorus will be joined by younger voices as the Martha’s Vineyard Children’s Chorus makes its holiday debut.

In what has become a holiday tradition, the Martha’s Vineyard Chamber Music Society provided a musical feast in its annual Thanksgiving concert.

After 12 consecutive Island Cup victories, the Vineyarders gave up the trophy to the Nantucket Whalers. Final score: 42-0.

Although not always visible, hunger is a part of daily life for many Vineyarders. A broad coalition has formed to address the problem.

Anything can happen at the Island Cup. The rivalry game between Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket is Saturday on the Vineyard. Kickoff is at 1 p.m.
