Just before Christmas, the annual Sing Along Messiah concert will take place at the beautiful Knox United Church in downtown Calgary.
A Sing Along Messiah is a performance where the audience is invited to sing along in the choruses - what could be a better way to share Handel’s glorious Messiah?
Performances of Handel’s Messiah at Christmas are a time-honoured tradition in many English-speaking countries across the world. The piece has a broad appeal, not only to classical music aficionados, but also to those whose musical tastes generally lie elsewhere.
Solos will be sung by auditioned young soloists (Allie Pompu, Katie Filson-Lau & Elizabeth Fast, sopranos; Dallas Hayes-Sparks, mezzo-soprano; Brenden Lengsfeld, countertenor) and members of VoiceScapes and friends with Rosa Barocca Baroque Orchestra. And you, the audience, can join the professional choir to sing along with the choruses - or just sit back and enjoy!
Bring your own score if you have one. Some scores will be available to borrow with a donation to the Calgary Food Bank.
The concert takes place on Sunday, December 18, 2022 at 3 PM at Knox United Church (506 - 4 Street SW, Calgary). Tickets are available online or at the door.
Presented by Early Music Voices.
