What

Tidewind Messiah Sing
Messiah Sings are popular events all over, and many places host them annually.  A “Messiah Sing” is a performance of a portion of Handel’s Messiah, most often around Christmas time, where the audience participates as the choir.  Audience members are encouraged to bring music and sing along with the choral pieces, while more experienced vocalists sing the arias, recitatives, etc.  One of our team members will briefly share about the significance of the Messiah today.
