Messiah Sing-Along with Orchestra - Weds Dec. 18, 7:30pm
What's better than listening to Handel's "Messiah"? Singing along, of course! And with an 18-piece baroque orchestra!
We will enjoy the Advent portion of Handel’s Messiah, with professional soloists singing the arias and everyone invited to join in singing the choruses. Highlights include "Glory of the Lord,” "For Unto Us a Child is Born," and the grand finale - the "Hallelujah Chorus."
And, the Messiah joy will be preceded by Bach's Cantata 82, “Ich habe genung” (trans. "I have enough" or "I am content”). It is considered one of Bach's most inspired creations, beloved for its profound emotional depth and musical beauty.
All voices welcome! Whether you a spirited singer (even if just in the shower!), a hum-along enthusiast, or someone who simply enjoys great music - come and enjoy this vibrant celebration of the season.
Admission is free. Donations for St. A's music program are welcomed and piano-vocal scores (Novello edition) will be available for purchase.
The evening will be live-streamed on YouTube.
