Fox Valley Philharmonic Do-It-Yourself Messiah
On Sunday afternoon, December 14th at 3:00pm, the Fox Valley Philharmonic Chorus and Orchestra will join forces with guest soloists and the community to sing together the choruses from George Frederic Handel's "Do-It-Yourself" Messiah and other holiday music.
The Philharmonic's concert will include the "Christmas Section" of Messiah along with its famous "Hallelujah Chorus". Adding support for the "Do-It-Yourself" audience will be the Philharmonic Choir. This is the Fox Valley area's 4th annual, popular "Do-It-Yourself" performance under the direction of Maryann Flock, Music Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra.
This joyous event is not only for the DIY audience. Those wishing to get into the Christmas spirit are welcome to come listen to the glorious sounds of Christmas music.
Admission to the concert is free, donations are welcome.
In the tradition established by Handel's premier performance for the benefit of the Irish "debtor's prison," this Messiah concert will benefit LifeSpring Ministries of Aurora. The performance takes place at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 420 West Downer Place, Aurora. (Parking is behind the church on Garfield Ave.). Audience attendees who are singing along can bring, borrow, or buy the choral part of Messiah at the door ($10 per book or refundable deposit). After the concert, there will be a reception with refreshments in Our Savior's Parish House.
The Philharmonic Orchestra is an affiliate of the Fox Valley Academy of Music Performance. The Academy orchestras will also be performing Christmas favorites and other classical works at a Holiday Concert at 1:00pm. Both concerts are partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
