Handel's MESSIAH Sing-Along Concert

IT'S A WONDERFUL CONCERT! MESSIAH IN AN AMAZING SPACE.
 
The sights and sounds of season converge in this warm and welcoming concert--an event for everyone. When the beloved oratorio MESSIAH by George Frideric Handel fills the restored Calvary United Methodist Church, the audience can not only revel in a setting featuring the region's most magnificent Tiffany windows and magnificent music, they are invited to sing along. This historic concert is befitting a landmark that has experienced a renaissance of restoration. The Renewal Choir captures the spirit of this season and one of Pittsburgh's most unique sacred spaces. The rare Farrand & Votey organ will be featured as well as a slate of guest musicians, singers, and directors whose credits not only leading opera, musical theater, and choral engagements.

This family friendly event is ideal for introducing that littlest angel to Tiffany angels and classical music!
