28th Annual Messiah Sing Held Dec. 5, 6

For 27 years, a chorus of about 100 from more than a dozen communities has sung selections from G.F. Handel’s sacred and inspiring oratorio, “Messiah,” in December.

The tradition endures.

The chorus is under the direction of Jennifer Erdody, Milford High School music teacher and the director of the Souhegan Valley Chorus, with Jill Slocum and John Leslie as accompanists and organists. A small orchestra accompanies the chorus.

The first performance at the Mont Vernon Congregational Church at 4 South Main St. in Mont Vernon (at the top of Route 13) is Saturday, Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. The second performance is Sunday, Dec. 6 at 4 p.m.

No tickets are sold–a free-will offering is taken at each performance and checks may be made out to MVCC, with Messiah Sing on the memo line. Parking at the McCollom Building next to the church is reserved for musicians and the handicapped. Shuttles will be available between the parking lot at the Village School and the church before and after each performance.Questions? Call 603-420-8523.
