August 2 at 7 PM in the Great Auditorium
General Admission: Freewill Offering
Singers: Sign up below and add your voice to the choir of Handel’s Messiah Spectacular at the historic Great Auditorium. Join a distinguished roster of conductors, soloists, and chamber orchestra as you become the chorus for this treasured masterwork!
I am thrilled to invite you to be part of this new addition to the OGCMA's exciting summer season, which will take place on Saturday, August 2nd at 7:00 pm. Whether you're a seasoned chorister or simply love to sing, tonight is for you.
There is no rehearsal-just bring your voice, your passion, and join us in filling the historic Great Auditorium with the timeless music of Handel's Messiah. Join a distinguished roster of conductors, soloists, and a chamber orchestra as you become the chorus!
Bring your scores if you have one — or borrow one of ours! The doors open at 6:30 pm and get your seat in the choir loft. Dress is informal. It is recommended that you register so we have a general idea of the head count.
There is a $10.00 fee. Below is a list of the sections of the Messiah that will be performed.
In Christ,
