Tickets: $20 suggested donation (to pay for the musicians and the space), or pay what you can. No one will be turned away. Available only at the door, cash or e-transfer. Any funds remaining after covering costs will be donated to St. John's in gratitude for their generous offer to host this event.
Haven't you always wanted to sing ALL of Handel's Messiah Part 1 - solos and all? Plus All We Like Sheep, and of course, the Hallelujah Chorus to bring in the holiday season.
Come join us! No auditions, no rehearsal, no performance, no audience, just singing straight through, for each other, for the joy of it, in an hour or so. All singers welcome. Everyone gets to sing the solos (most satisfying if you can sing in the right octave)!
We are thrilled to be accompanied by local professional musicians:
Tegan Ceschi-Smith, Violin
Simon Gidora, Violin
Karen Baxter, Viola
Sarah Poon, Cello
David Poon, Keyboard
Delamare George, Trumpet
Need a vocal score?
Download a free score (Schirmer 1912). Read it off your tablet or laptop, or print just the sections we're singing;
Order a (Novell0) score from Long & McQuade in Vancouver, and they will mail it to you;
Buy a (Novello) score for $15 at our event (limited availability);
Borrow a score at our event (very limited availability).
Have your own score? Great, bring it - any edition is fine.
Just want to listen, not sing? Totally fine, but you'll sit surrounded by singers; enjoy!
Many grateful thanks to our musicians and our sponsors: St John's United Church and a Generous Anonymous Donor.
See you there!
