Richter and Elizabeth Chapman Reilly welcome newcomers of all skill levels to learn about PFC and audition for vocal placement, if they wish, at Faith Community Church's Fellowship Hall, 29 Carver Road, Plymouth. Rehearsals for the winter season begin at 7 pm immediately following.

The group typically performs major concerts each winter and spring annually. Pilgrim Festival Singers, a PFC offshoot ensemble, performs an annual summer concert of lighter music, and occasionally sings at local community events.Rehearsals throughout the season are held on Monday nights from 7 to 9 pm. Performances of Wintersong will be held on Saturday, December 7 at 7:30 pm, and Sunday, December 8 at 4 pm, at St. Bonaventure Parish, 803 State Road, Plymouth.
