Händel’s Messiah Community Sing-Along Is Dec. 15

  • Sunday, December 1, 2019

The “Messiah” Community Sing-Along will be held on Sunday, Dec. 15, at 3 p.m. under the direction of Dr. Lonnie McCalister, Lee University’s former dean of the School of Music.

The event will take place at the Chattanooga First Seventh-day Adventist Church, 7450 Standifer Gap Road. 

This Chattanooga-area all-denominational event is free and is offered as a community service. This is a unique opportunity for audience participation in what has become the musical hallmark of the season. An offering will be taken.

The event includes a chamber orchestra and professional soloists. Soloists are Cynthia Johnson, soprano; Ian Hassevoort, soprano; Andrea Dismukes, contralto; James Frost, tenor; and Tony Deaton, bass. Refreshments will follow the program.

Nearly 400 people attend the Sing-Along each year.  Bring your own score; a limited number of chorus books are available on loan for the event. For more information, call 605-2468.  

Driving directions: At intersection of Gunbarrel and Shallowford Rd., take Gunbarrel north to roundabout. Church entrance is about 1/4 mile farther on right.
