Patterned after Masterwork’s popular Summer Sings, the Messiah Sing–Along will be conducted by Masterwork’s own Carol Walker. Following the singing, singers are invited to the church hall for holiday fellowship and a complimentary afternoon tea.
Reservations are not necessary, but please bring your own Messiah score if possible. A limited number of loaner scores will be available at the door. For further information, call Katherine Becker of The Masterwork Chorus at 973-919-2507.
