A perennial holiday classic brought to you by the Civic Orchestra of Victoria! Audience member voices join together as a choir for our 26th sing-along rendition of Handel’s most famous oratorio, led by the Civic Orchestra's Music Director, Grant Harville.
Featuring:
Jennifer Turner, soprano
Deanna Sills, mezzo soprano
Jan van der Hooft, tenor
Louis Dillon, bass
Greg Sly, piccolo trumpet
Kimberley Bartczak, continuo
***And YOU, the Audience, as the Chorus!***
Non-singers are also welcome to enjoy the show; there is no obligation to sing-along. We encourage you to at least belt out a "Hallelujah!" or two. đŸ˜ŠđŸŽ¶
THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD AT UNITED COMMONS (formerly the First Metropolitan United Church) 932 Balmoral Road, Victoria.
This venue is an accessible venue - those who require an alternative to the front stairs on Quadra Street are asked to come to the entrance at 932 Balmoral Road for access to the hall.
It is strongly recommended that you purchase tickets in advance to reduce congestion at the door.
The Civic Orchestra of Victoria has some vocal scores to lend to the Audience/Chorus during performance (donations are greatly appreciated). If you have your own score, please bring it with you. They are available for purchase at local music shops, including Long & McQuade Victoria.

Please note that while Civic Orchestra concerts are family-friendly, most programs are not suitable for very young children. If attending with children, please seat yourself near an exit so that you may easily take your children to the lobby during a performance if they become disruptive. Please be mindful of the concert-going experience of the patrons around you; we want everyone to enjoy the show! Thank you.
