Join your voice with singers and instrumentalists from around Seattle for this Community Messiah Sing-Along on November 21, 2025, at St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church. Written by George Frideric Handel in 1741, Messiah — and especially the Hallelujah chorus — has become one of the most widely performed and recognized pieces of Western music. This sing-along will include choruses, solos, and instrumental music from Part I: The Birth of Jesus (about 1 hour).

For singers preparing to join the chorus, below are some great videos to help you prepare. They highlight your part (visually) and dampen the other parts so you can hear and see your part clearly for learning purposes (while still including the other voices and instruments in the back as reference).
