The Department of Music in Arts & Sciences will present its annual sing-along of George Frideric Handel’s oratorio “Messiah” at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6, in Graham Chapel.
John Stewart, director of vocal activities, directs the program.
The performance, which lasts about an hour, will include the Christmas portion of “Messiah” as well as the “Hallelujah Chorus.” Those who wish to participate in the sing-along may sit in special sections arranged according to voice type (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone), although those who choose not to sing also are welcome to attend. Copies of the music will be available for those who do not bring their own scores.
Soloists for the performance will include sopranos Stephanie Ball and Sarah Shipkowski, both second-year graduate students in the Department of Music.
Mezzo soprano will be Debra Hillebrand, with tenor Keith Boyer. Baritone will be Tom Sitzler, also a second-year graduate student. William Partridge Jr., campus organist, will provide the instrumental accompaniment.
The concert is free and open to the public.
