Join the South Orange Symphony for a Festive 'Messiah' Sing-Along

The South Orange Symphony invites the community to a special sing-along performance of Handel's 'Messiah' on Tuesday, December 9, at 7:30 PM.

 

This cherished event will take place at the First Presbyterian & Trinity Church, located at 111 Irvington Avenue in South Orange.

 

Under the baton of Susan Haig and guest conductors, attendees will have the opportunity to sing Part I of this iconic oratorio, culminating in the triumphant 'Hallelujah Chorus.'

 

Vocal soloists for the evening include Caitlin Caulfield (soprano), Cornelia Lotito (contralto), Keaun Guy (tenor), and Sean Cooper (bass-baritone).

 

Participants are encouraged to bring their own scores; however, some will be available on-site.

 

For those who prefer to listen, the event promises an evening of inspiring music.

 

An optional chorus brush-up rehearsal is scheduled at 6:45 PM for those interested.

 

Admission is free, and street parking is available on South Orange Avenue, Irvington Avenue, and Academy Street.
