Join singers of all ages from around the Metro area as St. Matthew Lutheran Church and the Beati organization sponsor an open sing-along version of Handel's Messiah!

This event is a complete sing-along! Have you ever wanted to sing rarely-done choruses in the Messiah? How about the solos? Yes, everyone loves the choruses, but who doesn't want to sing the solos, too? Well, this is your chance for all of those! At this performance, all those present will not only get to sing all of the Messiah Choruses, but all the solo parts, as well! Come and join us!

You do not have to want sing to attend. People come just to experience the spectacular sight and sound of a massive amount of singers and Messiah!

For those who want to sing, you don't need to have sung the work before, or even be a singer.
Just show up and join in, and have fun singing with everybody!

You don't have to sing the whole time, either! If you just want to sing here and there and sit out some portions, feel free! It's at each person's discretion to sing or sit back and enjoy listening!

If you have access to a Messiah score, please bring it! If you don't, no worries! We have a hundred scores – courtesy of Twietmeyer Properties – which you can borrow for the performance.

House will open at 6:30. Attendants, as well as signs, will help direct people towards parking!
