Messiah Sing-Along

Join friends, family, and community members for a Messiah sing-along fundraiser. Karyl Carlson, director of choral activities, will conduct. Come to sing or just to listen and enjoy. The program will consist of the Christmas portion of Messiah plus the “Hallelujah” chorus. FOA has assembled a small orchestra and soloists who will help enrich the experience.
The event is free and open to all who participate or attend. Free-will donations of cash or check will be accepted at the door, or you can donate online via the secure Illinois State University Foundation website. Please note "Messiah sing-along" under the Gift Notes section for donations related to this event.
