Call for new choristers
It is important for the ongoing strength of our choir that we have new members joining us each year.
-
You may know someone who has sung with a choir that is not presenting Messiah this year and would like to have the opportunity to sing. Why not invite that person to sing with us.
-
You might meet someone who has not sung Messiah but would like to have the opportunity to sing this great work. Please invite him or her along.
-
We believe it is important that young people grow to love Messiah. Please encourage them to join. Children and full-time students do not pay a registration fee.
