Halloween hasn’t arrived and I’m asking you to think about Christmas. But for a chorus to come together takes practice. So, the Messiah Community Chorus rehearsals will begin rehearsing next week.
They are reaching out for singers to join them for the annual Christmas concert.
The chorus tradition of performing selections from Handel’s Messiah began in 1971. It was put on hold for two years during the pandemic. That means this concert will mark the 50th performance.
The concert will take place at Pilgrim Church on Sunday, December 10th at 3:30 pm. (You can find ticket information here.)
The chorus will hold its rehearsals at the church on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm, starting November 1st. They’ll take place weekly (except the night before Thanksgiving) through December 6th. Plus there is a mandatory dress rehearsal on Saturday, December 9th from 11:15 am – 1:00 pm.
To ask questions or let them know you plan to join them, you can email singhandel@gmail.com.
You can find more information on the website messiahcommunitychorus.org.
