Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley: Messiah Sing-Along
UUCB has been hosting a sing-along of Handel’s glorious Messiah for many decades. Indeed, it seems likely that the Bay Area tradition of singers throughout the community joining in this great masterpiece started at UUCB. For more than 50 years, people have been coming to enjoy singing great music in a festive atmosphere. We have a professional orchestra and soloists and the entire audience joins in singing Handel’s fantastic choruses and many of the solos. There are usually 200 to 300 people who join in the joy of this music. Many are excellent singers and some just like to hum along.
Everyone is welcome to come and sing, whether they think of themselves as a singer or not. Or just be in the middle of all the great music. You do not need to know how to read music, you do not need to know the score perfectly. or even sing gloriously. Come enjoy! (There are many practice resources available if you would like to tune up before the sing-along.) We will have scores to loan at the event.
Come, join the fun, ring in the holidays with great music – Hallelujah!
Tickets are $20 general admission and $10 for students. No one turned away for lack of funds.
A livestream option will be available. Plenty of free parking on site.
