Morristown, NJ – The holiday season may not be the same without our annual Messiah performance– but instead, patrons can be part of the tradition! Join us live on Sunday December 13, 2020 at 4:00 pm when a quartet of (socially distanced) soloists from the Connecticut Choral Artists (CONCORA) leads us in a sing-along of Handel’s beloved masterpiece. They will sing the entire Christmas portion, as well as all the choruses from Parts II and III, joined by a chamber ensemble from the Worcester Festival Orchestra, conducted by Music Director Chris Shepard. You can sing along at home, or just enjoy the festive music!
This event is hosted by three ensembles whose annual Messiah performances have been sidelined this year–the Masterwork Chorus who have been performing the work each year at Carnegie Hall for more than half a century… the Worcester Chorus of Massachusetts whose tradition began in 1900… and CONCORA, Connecticut’s oldest professional choir. All three choirs have performed in Worcester’s beautiful Mechanics Hall, the site of this year’s Virtual Messiah Sing. We hope you can join us for this live event and help us keep this time-honored tradition alive.
Tickets to enjoy the Live Stream presentation are $10. You will be emailed a link to the live event after your purchase. Please visit www.masterwork.org for more information.
The Masterwork Chorus, founded in 1955, is an auditioned chorus of approximately 110 voices. Guided by our Mission and Goals, the chorus is dedicated to enrich, delight and support the cultural life of the community through high-quality inspiring choral performances.
