Annual Messiah Sing

Annual Messiah Sing
Sunday, Dec. 1, 4-5:15 p.m.
Charlotte Congregational will host its annual performance of Handel’s “Messiah” as a classic singalong. Anne Decker will conduct four of Vermont’s preeminent vocal soloists (Helen Lyons, Nessa Rabin, Cameron Brownell and Erik Kroncke) along with a professional chamber ensemble, including the Skylark quartet. When attendees arrive to this family-friendly event, they’ll be offered a score and invited to sit in sections based on their vocal ranges: soprano, alto, tenor or bass. Not all will choose to sing, and some may want to sit with their friends and family, so the section seating is just a suggestion. Also, the balcony will be open. Dotted throughout the performance will be times for the attendees to raise their voices in song. The event will culminate with everyone bursting out for the “Hallelujah Chorus.” Childcare available, and donations encouraged (suggested $5 for children, $20 for adults and $50 for families).
