The Music Hall Presents Messiah Sing! the Seacoast’s largest community-sing featuring 10 Seacoast choruses, nine conductors, four soloists and an 11-piece orchestra. “Patrons are also participants: every member of the audience has the opportunity to follow the signs for sopranos, altos, tenors, and bass and seat themselves. Whether people choose to simply view the performance or to raise their voices in song, they’re swept up in an uplifting and unforgettable celebration of the season.”
The concert includes selections from George Friedrich Handel’s choral masterpiece and runs approximately 80 minutes with no intermission. Messiah was composed by George Friedrich Handel (1685-1759) over the span of 24 days in August 1741. The first performance was given in Dublin, Ireland the following April with the composer conducting. The texts for the oratorio were compiled by Charles Jennens, an English librettist.
