James Taylor, the singer-songwriter who got his start as a teenager performing at cafes on the Vineyard, was celebrated Sunday as one of five 2016 Kennedy Center medal recipients.

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.

The new CD by Jemima James is a double album with her latest work, When You Get Old, and also a 1979 recording that has been given new life.
