It’s not even Heritage Day and I’m asking you to think about Christmas. But for a chorus to come together takes practice. So, singers in the 47th annual Messiah concert will begin rehearsing next week.
The traditional concert at Pilgrim Church will take place on Sunday, December 9th. Rehearsals start a ten days from today. The Messiah Community Chorus has put out the call for for singers to join them.
The chorus will hold rehearsals at the church on Thursdays from 7:00 to 8:10 pm, starting October 11th.
As usual, singers only need to commit to attending 6-7 rehearsals, plus the dress rehearsal.
You can find more information and all the dates in the flyer.
[Editor’s Note – Someone with a really good memory might be confused by the jump from last year’s “39th annual” performance. Back in 2013, someone mistakenly emailed me that it was the 35th annual performance. I noted that and updated it every year since. But, apparently the tradition dates back to 1972!]
