The UVA Department of Music presents the 57th annual Messiah Sing-In on Tuesday, December 10th at 8:00 pm in Old Cabell Hall! The Sing-In is conducted by Michael Slon, UVA’s Director of Choral Music, and benefits the University's choral ensembles. Make sure to come early or stay late to enjoy the magical scene of the lights on The Lawn!
Further information on this event will be available on November 5th, 2024.
Join Charlottesville community members as well as singers from the University Singers, the UVA Chamber Singers, the Virginia Glee Club, and the Virginia Women's Chorus, as they fill Old Cabell Hall with Handel’s glorious music! Singing participants for the event sit in sections arranged according to vocal part (soprano, alto, tenor, bass), the orchestra sits on stage, while non-singers are encouraged to listen from the Loge and Balcony. Copies of the vocal score will be available for those who do not have their own, and orchestral parts will be made available in advance for instrumentalists.
Through the years – and even a virtual version during the pandemic – the UVA Messiah Sing-In has remained a simple and joyous event, relying on the University and Charlottesville community to come together to sing and perform one of the greatest oratorios ever written. The event remains one of the first in the nation, started in 1968 by Professor emeritus Donald Loach, who led the event for 50 years before passing the baton to Professor Michael Slon. Come sing or play your hearts out!
