Season Highlights

Coming Up

Our annual Messiah Sing-Along Concert will bring beautiful holiday music to the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. Join members of the Northwest Symphony Orchestra of Arlington Heights in its glorious playing of Part 1 Messiah and concluding Hallelujah Chorus, in the beautiful cathedral sanctuary of the First Presbyterian Church of Arlington Heights.

During the concert directed by NSO Music Director and Conductor Timothy Semanik, you will hear soloists Megan Hendrickson/soprano, Kristen Walter/alto, and Dan Richardson/bass perform, coupled with chorus interludes for audience participation. Singers and non-singers alike will be sure to enjoy the soaring sounds of the holiday surrounding them in this quaint and picturesque setting. Bring your own musical score or utilize one of the vocal scores available on-site.

This concert will run approximately 65 minutes with no intermission. There is ample free parking at and around the church.

This is a free event, and no tickets are required for entry; a free will offering will be accepted during the concert to help the Northwest Symphony Orchestra and First Presbyterian Church organizations to continue their missions of bringing music and joy to the local community.
