11th Annual Handel’s Messiah Sing-Along Concert Series

HALLELUJAH!

Bask in Handel’s inspiring Messiah while surrounded by candlelight and Calvary’s magnificent Tiffany stained-glass masterpieces.

This will be Calvary’s 11th year bringing this holiday tradition to the Pittsburgh North Side/Shore area. Their interactive, family-friendly, sell-out concert features professional opera soloists Anna Singer (soprano), Kara Cornell (mezzo-soprano), Kirk Dougherty (tenor), and Matthew Hunt (baritone), as well as a Chamber Orchestra, Festival Choir, and our historic 1895 Farrand & Votey organ. The concert is followed by a reception onsite in the Victorian Chapel.

Also, as a special treat this year at the Saturday performance, there will be a special Guest Conductor for the Hallelujah Chorus – Lesley Mann, GBU Life Chief Marketing & Distribution Officer! Last year, Jennifer Stockdale, GBU Life Director of Marketing and Community Engagement, had this opportunity and brought down the house!

The concert is family-friendly – each child 12 and under will receive an activity pack. This concert is also a sing-along. As an audience member you are not required to sing, but you are certainly invited to sing along on each of the choruses sung by the Festival Choir.

This concert is also offered in support of outreach ministries on Pittsburgh’s Northside. This year, as in years past, audience members are asked (but not required) to bring non-perishable food items and extra shopping tote bags for the Northside Common Ministries Food Pantry. Also, tickets are given to neighborhood schools and groups such as Tickets for Kids.

Tickets are available here! (Free admission for all GBU employees)
