Messiah Sing Along

Seattle Unity Rediscovers Messiah
Throughout the 1980's Seattle Unity was among the many regional
churches that hosted SINGALONG MESSIAH concerts, which invited
music lovers to share the thrill of singing some of the most adored music in
western repertoire, Handel's "Messiah". Only a handful of these singalongs
still occur, and interested singers have had to venture further and further
afield to find one.
This year, Seattle Unity breathes life back into this tradition in our beautiful
downtown Sanctuary, with orchestra, professional soloists, and wonderful
refreshments at a pre-concert Holiday Feast of Treats.
Our conductor is Rev. Eric Odel, founder and director of Spirit of the Sound
Choir. Soloists are Glenn Guhr (bass), Ellaina Lewis (Soprano), Erin
McGaughan (alto) and Jonakan Osteen (tenor).
All singers are invited, and non-singers (listeners) too. Bring your own
score; some scores available for rent. Choral section leaders will keep
things moving confidently, and practice links are available for extra-diligent
folks: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5513427/SU/Messiah Info for Singers.pdf
Proceeds will benefit New Horizons Ministry www.nhmin.org , a longtime
outreach partner with Seattle Unity. New Horizons has been loving and
serving Seattle's homeless and street involved young people since 1978. www.nhmin.org
CHILDREN 12 AND UNDER ARE FREE----GENERAL ADMISSION $20
Please help us to create a warm, community holiday gathering by bringing Holiday Treats and traditions to share at 6PM and during intermission.
