LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY — WJFF will host a free Messiah community sing on Sunday, December 21 at 3 p.m. at the Seelig Theatre of SUNY Sullivan. Unlike a traditional concert version of George Frideric Handel’s famed 1741 Oratorio, this production will be sung by those attending. Hudson Opera theater conductor Ron De Fesi will lead the ensemble, and the Delaware Valley Opera’s Kathy Geary (soprano), Carol Diefenbach (mezzo-soprano), Eric Barsness (bass) and Kevin Harnek (tenor) will be soloists. An instrumental ensemble composed of adults and young area musicians will be on stage, and the audience will sing selections from the choral oratorio with scores provided at the theatre.
Featured chorus selections from Handel’s Messiah Oratorio will include “And the Glory of the Lord,” “And He Shall Purify,” “For Unto Us a Child is Born,” “Glory to God,” “Lift Up your Head O Ye Gates,” and “Hallelujah Chorus.” Donations are gratefully appreciated to benefit WJFF 90.5 FM and 94.5 FM, a 501(c)3 non-profit community radio station.
