Come and Sing With Us!

Join the chorus of Canterbury Choral Society and the Choir of Church of the Heavenly Rest, under the direction of Jonathan De Vries, to sing favorite excerpts from Handel’s Messiah on Thursday, December 5, 2024.

Experienced singers’ voices will join the audience, accompanied by vocal soloists Lydia Saylor, soprano; Christopher Tefft, bass; Anna Willson, alto; and Matthew Youngblood, tenor.

Trumpeter Samuel Jones will join Alistair Reid on piano, and Heavenly Rest’s Director of Music Janet Yieh playing the Austin Organ, a magnificent 138-rank organ with over 8,000 pipes and a 5-manual console.

Tickets are $20 at the door (cash only, please) or in advance at EventBrite.

Bring a score and a friend and join members from both ensembles as we usher in the Christmas season. A limited number of scores will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
