Pilgrim Festival Chorus (PFC), the region’s principal community choral group, will host a Messiah Sing, a sing-through of Handel’s masterpiece, on Sunday, December 22, at 3 pm at The Church of the Pilgrimage, 8 Town Square in Plymouth. PFC’s Music Director, William B. Richter, will conduct, accompanied by Elizabeth Chapman Reilly, organist.
Messiah Sings, popular in this area for at least 40 years, employ the audience as the chorus. For choral music enthusiasts, a Messiah Sing is considered a necessary part of the holiday season each year. This Sing will consist of Part I (the Christmas portion) and the Hallelujah! Chorus, possibly the best known choral piece in the western world.
Instrumental accompaniment will be supplied by the church’s impressive Woodbury-Roche pipe organ. Soloists will be drawn from the PFC membership, many of whom are professionally trained.
Tickets are priced at $10.00 and are available at the door. Scores are available to borrow, or attendees are welcome to bring their own. Funds raised from the event support the PFC's yearly operating expenses.
