As a primary goal of the organization is to provide all people with opportunities to experience choral music, with support from KARMA, this Beati organization-sponsored show is free to the public.

The Knowing And Redefining Music Accessibility (KARMA) program strives to provide open access to music and the arts to all people, regardless of age, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, language, socioeconomic status, or any other facet.

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!

For Those Who Want to Watch and Listen to the Performance

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

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!

For Those In Between

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!

About Sheet Music for the Evening

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!
