Choral Art Society Messiah Sing

The Choral Art Society of New Jersey, Inc., in conjunction with St. Anne’s RC Church, announces its annual Messiah Sing  will take place on Sunday, December 2, 2012, at 3:00 P.M. at  St. Anne’s Church, 325 Second Avenue, Garwood, N.J.   


The Messiah will be accompanied on the newly renovated pipe organ by James S. Little, organist at Calvary Episcopal Church, Summit, N.J.  Please note that this is a Sunday afternoon event, a break from the past tradition of having a Friday evening event.


Martin Sedek, the new Musical Director of the Society, will conduct the beloved Handel oratorio.  Audience members are invited to bring scores and join in the singing of the choruses  or simply come to listen.
