The community is invited to usher out the old year and welcome in the new during the eighth annual community-wide "Messiah Sing-Along" on Sunday, December 31st, at 3:00 PM Under the direction of Scott Smedinghoff, singers of all levels and abilities are invited to participate in the informal sing-along which will include the Advent and Christmas section of Handel's choral masterpiece, as well as the Hallelujah Chorus.  There will be four soloists including Kerry Ryer-Parke as Soprano, Katie Beck as Alto, Fr. Scott Neal as Tenor and Mark Madison as Bass.  The chorus/audience will be accompanied by a chamber orchestra comprised of talented local musicians. Bring your voice, enthusiasm and holiday spirit as we usher in the New Year with this popular event.  A limited number of copies of the score will be available to singers, and those who have their own copy are encouraged to bring it.
 

The annual Messiah Sing-along will again be held at St. James Episcopal Church,  located Historic Route 7A in the center of Arlington, Vermont.
