The Ames Choral Society, under the direction of Steven Hoifeldt, will host its annual Messiah Sing-Along on Friday, April 13, 7:00 pm, at St. Andrews Lutheran Church, 209 Colorado, Ames. The Messiah, by George F. Handel, originally premiered in Dublin, Ireland, 276 years ago on April 13, 1742, to benefit local charities. The Ames Choral Society has a tradition of scheduling the Messiah sing-along in Ames as close to its premiere date as possible.
All area singers, instrumentalists and lovers of Handel’s Messiah are invited to participate or enjoy the music as audience members. A few scores will be available for use, but musicians are encouraged to bring their own.
