Messiah Community SingFest
Thursday and Friday, September 29-30, 7 pm, Resurrection Lutheran Church
You are invited to participate as Juneau Lyric Opera celebrates the Handel Messiah. This season-long project is led by Bruce Simonson, music director, and culminates in a performance of the entire work at the end of April.
You can get a head start by participating in the kickoff: the Messiah Community SingFest. Bruce will lead us in singing as many of the choruses as we can squeeze in, and several of the solo numbers. The singfest will be informal and fun and a great opportunity for experienced singers and newbies alike to immerse themselves in the music. We hope that everyone who has ever sung, or wanted to sing, this master work by G.F. Handel will join us!
