Tallahassee Music Guild Unveils 33rd Annual Sing-Along “Messiah”

This year the 33rd annual sing-along performance of the Tallahassee Music Guild of Georg Friedrich Handel’s “Messiah” takes place.

The guild needs your votes for the performance on Tuesday, December 14th at 7:00 p.m. at Faith Presbyterian Church while we sing this season! The venue is on the corner of North Meridian and John Knox Road (2200 North Meridian Road). The suggested donation at the door is $ 10 for adults and $ 5 for students and children.

Vocal soloists, instrumentalists and the choir of participants bring the Messiah score to life and perform selected movements from all three parts of the oratorio. The audience will “sing along” to choirs like “Hallelujah”, “And the Glory”, “For Unto Us a Child Is Born”, “Glory to God”, “Worthy Is the Lamb” and more.

The guild would like to thank the professional musicians who have raised money for scholarships through their performances at the Sing-Along Messiah.

Lisa M. Foltz continues in her fifth year as TMG Music Director and Conductor and sixth year as mezzo-soprano for the 33rd performance. In addition, the baritone Ed Lyon celebrates his fifth anniversary. Trumpeter Longineu Parsons and pianist Joanna Sobkowska-Parsons are returning in their third and fourth years as TMG soloists, respectively, and Adam Ravain is returning for a third year as TMG organist.

Tenors Conner Fabrega and Leo Day will make their “Live” TMG debut after attending the Guild-taped presentation of the “2020 Sing-Along Messiah”. The Guild is very excited to welcome Rebecca Edmiston, piano; Ava Anderson, soprano; and Maclain Hardin, mezzo-soprano, as first TMG soloists.

Over the years, the Tallahassee Music Guild has awarded 704 grants totaling $ 336,500 to music students at FSU and FAMU, as well as an annual donation to Tallahassee Youth Orchestras.

Students who have received scholarships for the spring semester 2022 will be presented at the Messiah performance on December 14th. Your presence will help the Tallahassee Music Guild continue to award music scholarships. Donations from patrons attending this annual event fund the grants in conjunction with larger contributions from donors made in advance and earmarked for music grants.

If you have a Messiah score at home, bring it with you or rent a score for the evening to sing about and visualize the solos. The score is $ 10 while supplies last, with a $ 5 discount if the score is returned at the end of the concert. Funds raised from loaning scores also directly fund scholarships.

Because of our attention to CDC recommendations that affect our lives for the past 21 months, we will not have our usual Fellowship Hall meeting after the performance.

Visitors are encouraged to allow additional time for holiday traffic and to park and take seats. Once you enter the venue, ushers and signs will direct you to the designated seating for your vote. Anyone who just wants to listen is always welcome.
