Alameda's 20th Annual Sing-It-Yourself Messiah

October 1, 2014

Dear Friends,

We are preparing for Alameda’s 20th Annual Sing-It-Yourself Messiah performance. It will be held this year at St. Philip Neri Church, 3108 Van Buren St. in Alameda, California on Sunday, December 14, 2014 at 4:00pm. We will be presenting the Christmas Section and the Hallelujah Chorus of George Fredrick Händel’s Messiah Oratorio with chamber orchestra, soloists, harpsichord and organ.

Two optional chorus rehearsals will also be offered on Sundays, November 16th and 23th at 4:00pm at St. Philip Neri. Everyone is welcome, so come and renew your acquaintance with this inspirational oratorio. Please bring a copy of The Messiah if you have one. There will also be a limited number of scores available “on-loan” if you don’t.

The sing along is free, however there will be a free-will offering taken to help offset the expenses of the event. Participants are also requested to bring canned or dry food items for donation to the Alameda Food Bank.

For further information, go to www.alamedasingityourselfmessiah.org, or call (510) 373-5219 or (510) 523-0659. Please post the enclosed poster at your facility, and feel free to make more copies to include in your departments newsletter or weekly service bulletin.

Thanks,
The Alameda’s Sing-It-Yourself Messiah Committee - 2014
