Sing-it-Yourself Messiah
The San Francisco Academy Orchestra, joined by acclaimed soloists Heidi
Klein (soprano), Janet Campbell (mezzo-soprano) and Brian Thorsett (tenor)
perform "backup" to the citizens of San Francisco in a true
"Sing-it-Yourself" Messiah, an audience-friendly performance of the
Christmas and Hallelujah portions of G.F. Handel's epic. All net proceeds
from the concert will be donated to the SF Food Bank.
Guest conductor Alden Gilchrist is offering a free workshop to both the
familiar and first-time Messiah singers on Saturday, December 19 (10am),
to provide both historical context of the piece and an opportunity to
rehearse various parts of the score. Attendees are free to bring their own
"Messiah" scores, or may purchase ($5) or rent ($1) copies before the
workshop or performance.
Immediately following the concert, the Academy Orchestra will be hosting a
holiday party at Calvary for attendees with wine, appetizers, and a silent
auction which will include musical memorabilia, San Francisco Symphony
tickets, vacation packages, wine, and restaurant gift certificates.
