The finest choral and orchestral music in a welcoming environment
The Soloists
Messiah Sing-Along 2024
The Arts at Ascension presents the third annual Sing-Along of George Frederick Handel’s classic holiday oratorio “Messiah”. It’s a free, family holiday fun afternoon, featuring soloists and choristers from The Arizona Masterworks Chorale and North Scottsdale UMC, musicians of the Women’s Orchestra of Arizona — and the voices of everyone who loves singing choruses from Handel’s magnificent creation.
In 2024 we’re delighted to present four outstanding Phoenix-based professional soloists.
Come and sing along, or just sit back and enjoy the greatest Christmas oratorio ever. No rehearsal necessary for singers! If you don’t have a score, click below to download one in PDF.
