FAQ:

How does seating work? – Seating for this concert is general admission. Singers will be seated within their vocal section (soprano, alto, tenor or bass) while families and other listeners will be in a separate general admission area.

How do I get music? Do I have to bring my own? – While you can bring your own copy of this choral masterpiece, a copy of the music is included in your ticket price and can be retrieved on the day of the performance.

What parts do I get to sing? – This sing-along provides you with the opportunity to sing next to world class soloists and the Bach Elgar Choir! All arias and recitative will be sung by the same professional singers featured in Friday and Sunday’s Messiah performances. All of Handel’s mighty choruses will be sung as a large group.
