SUMMARY:Messiah Sing In
DESCRIPTION:The UVA McIntire Department of Music presents the 51st annual M
 essiah Sing-In on Tuesday\, December 4th at 8 pm in Old Cabell Hall. After
  50 years of leading the event\, Professor Donald Loach has passed the bat
 on to Michael Slon\, who will lead the concert this year. The Messiah Sing
 -In benefits the University's choral ensembles. Get TICKETS via the UVa Ar
 ts Box Office and be there to participate in a UVa tradition that has reac
 hed its 51st anniversary!\n\nProfessor Donald Loach started the tradition 
 of the UVA Messiah Sing-In in 1968 as one of the first in the nation. It w
 as a simple beginning with no orchestra. Yvaine Duisit was the organist\, 
 and Professor Walter Ross played double bass. Ross has continuously partic
 ipated in the Messiah Sing-In since its inception. Later\, an orchestra be
 gan to develop\, all voluntary and unsolicited. In the beginning\, churche
 s in the area provided scores. However\, in 1974\, with the help of genero
 us donations\, scores were purchased. Community members\, students and fac
 ulty joined the core group of singers\, which consisted of the University 
 Singers and the Virginia Glee Club and today also includes the UVA Chamber
  Singers and Virginia Women’s Chorus. Donald Loach has sought to retain 
 the joy and simplicity of the occasion without any professional pretense\,
  orchestral rehearsals or professional soloists. The UVA Messiah Sing-In r
 emains a simple and joyous event\, relying on the University and Charlotte
 sville community to come together to sing and perform one of the greatest 
 oratorios ever written.\n\nParticipants for the Sing-In sit in sections ar
 ranged according to vocal part (soprano\, alto\, tenor\, baritone)\, and t
 he orchestra sits on stage. Non-singers are encouraged to listen from the 
 Loge and Balcony. Copies of the vocal score will be available for those wh
 o do not have their own\, and orchestral parts will be available for instr
 umentalists.\n\nCome sing or play your hearts out!
