Dive into the heart of Handel’s masterpiece at our Messiah Sing-Along, a unique collaboration between Arizona Philharmonic and Prescott Chorale, under the baton of guest conductor Dr. Edith A. Copley, the beloved and recently retired regent’s professor of Northern Arizona University’s Chorale department. Whether you’re a seasoned singer or a first-time participant, this event invites you to bring your own Messiah scores and join in the choruses, or simply bask in the surrounding music. With the powerful combination of professional musicians and community voices, you can both hear Handel’s Messiah and become an integral part of its performance, creating a truly immersive and unforgettable experience. Messiah scores will be available for purchase at the door. So, join your voice with a sea of others in the majestic “Hallelujah” chorus and beyond, celebrating the spirit of the season in song.

Should you wish to sit in the sing-along section, please select a seat in the left section, in rows K – Q. There are no “formal” seats for SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, bass choir seating) arrangements. Please contact the Box Office directly with any questions.
