The “Sing-Along” series began in 2010 when more than 300 people lifted their voices to Handel’s oratorio masterpiece.

“It was standing room only in the Chapel last year,” said Director of Choral Ensembles and Vocal Studies Susan Parton Stanard. “The Chapel is closed for repairs this year, but we are able to hold the concert in our newly refurbished Ann Whitney Olin Theatre in the Hatheway Cultural Center.”
