Embrace the holiday spirit at a community sing-along of selections from Handel’s renowned Messiah!
Started by a group of community members in 2022, the Elgin Sing-Along Messiah is an interactive community sing-along that raises awareness and funding for Elgin charities while showcasing the talent of Elgin-area musicians and vocalists, including the Elgin Symphony Orchestra, the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra, Midwest Opera Theatre, and members of the Elgin Master Chorale.
As an audience member, you become part of the production, singing the choruses. No musical experience is necessary. The Elgin Sing-Along Messiah is just over one hour long, making it perfect for all ages. Seating is offered by vocal range (everyone in your party may sit with you) or by general seating.
