The Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church is having its annual “Messiah” sing-along on Sunday, Dec. 8.
Under the direction of Sandy Wells, the sing-along will begin at 5 p.m. Dec. 8 in the church sanctuary, and it will last about one hour, a press release said. The concert will be presented by 30 area singers accompanied by a 20-piece orchestra.
Everyone is welcome, and music will be provided for early-arriving audience members. Admission is free.
“The ‘Messiah’ sing-along gives everyone, whether experienced performers or shower singers, a chance to add their voices to this celebratory masterpiece,” ORUUC Director of Music Wendel Werner said. “Many places all over the world present annual ‘Messiah’ sing-alongs. This one has been in the area for numerous years, but this is our third time hosting the concert.”
Members of the choir will sing the arias and audience members will be invited to join the choir in singing the chorus parts from portions of Handel’s “Messiah,” including the “Hallelujah” chorus.
The Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church is at 1500 Oak Ridge Turnpike.
