A holiday season tradition for music lovers
Pilgrim Festival Chorus (PFC), the region’s principal community choral group, presents Celebrate! – Messiah and Carol Sing-along on Friday, December 19, at 7:30 pm at the Church of the Pilgrimage, 8 Town Square, Plymouth. The chorus’s fifth annual Messiah Sing includes a carol sing-along, where the audience enjoys an opportunity to sing favorite carols, a great event to prepare for the holiday season.
PFC director William B. Richter leads the audience in both carols and the familiar choruses from Part I of Handel’s masterpiece, concluding with the Hallelujah Chorus. Solos selected from Part I will be sung by featured local vocalists. Accompaniment on the church’s recently refurbished Roche pipe organ is performed by PFC accompanist/assistant director, Elizabeth Chapman Reilly.
In Messiah Sings, popular in this area for more than 4¬0 years, the audience participates as the chorus. For many folks, a Messiah Sing is considered a necessary tradition of the holiday season, attracting both singers and listeners.
