2010 Easter Messiah Sing Along

This year's Messiah Sing Along will be held on Sunday, March 28, 2010 at 7:00 PM for a pre-Easter event. What better way to prepare for an Easter celebration than to sing Handel's expression of the Saviour's atonement and resurrection? It promises to be an uplifting and edifying experience for everyone in attendance.
John Jorgensen will be conducting with Kim Croft at the organ, plus a wonderful line up of orchestra and soloists. We invite everyone to this wonderful evening of music and love, whether to sing or listen to some of the greatest music ever written about the greatest event of heaven and earth.
