Now in its 135th season, the UMS Choral Union continues its tradition of performing the holiday classic, Handel’s Messiah, again with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra and four amazing soloists. This oratorio is a good old friend for the Choral Union — some of the choir members have sung this for more than three decades with this ensemble! The most famous song from Messiah is the Hallelujah chorus, in which the audience will be welcomed to join in singing (if you dare!). This also marks the last time that Dr. Jerry Blackstone, who has conducted UMS Choral Union for many seasons, will be leading these Messiah performances with the Choral Union.
Also, if you have an ugly holiday sweater that you’re looking for an excuse to wear, join the UMS Student Committee’s Ugly Sweater Party on December 6 at 6pm, in Rackham Building! The admission fee for this event covers the ticket to that night’s performance of Handel’s Messiah as well. More details about this event can be found here.
When: Saturday, December 6 at 8pm -and- Sunday, December 7 at 2pm
Where: Hill Auditorium
Tickets: $10 and up for students; or use the Passport to the Arts to go for FREE!
