Handel’s Messiah is indeed for all people, and we would love for you to join us for the 53rd Annual Messiah Sing-Along! Heather Adelsberger (Georgetown Chorale) will be at the podium to conduct us through Part I and the Hallelujah Chorus.
The event starts at 7:00PM with an engaging pre-concert experience that includes a vocal warm-up and peek inside Handel’s marvelous score. At 7:30PM the sing-along will begin, showcasing fabulous soloists and accompanied by chamber orchestra. A delightful reception will cap off the evening. We are once again highlighting area choral ensembles and giving away pairs of tickets to some of the best local choral events!
You can bring your own score or borrow one of the ones provided, and there will be a free-will offering accepted to help CUMC keep events like this going. The sing-along will also be live-streamed, so share our YouTube page with friends and family.
