Event Details

Join First Pres musicians and the Northwest Symphony Orchestra of Arlington Heights for our annual Messiah Sing-Along Concert! It will be a glorious playing of Part 1 Messiah concluding with the Hallelujah Chorus. Singers & non-singers alike will enjoy this holiday favorite!

During the concert directed by NSO Music Director and Conductor Timothy Semanik, you will hear soloists Megan Hendrickson, Kristen Walter, Nick Pulikowski, Adam Hendrickson, and Dan Richardson perform, coupled with chorus interludes for audience participation.

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 First Pres and the NSO continue their missions of bringing music and joy to the local community.

We hope that you will join us to begin the holiday season!

Child care is provided for evening concerts by calling the office for a reservation (no later than four days in advance).

Event Details

For some of us, Christmas is a time filled with palpable sorrow and lingering grief. Maybe you have experienced a life changing event or a loss that leaves you struggling to get through each day. Please know that you are not alone in your feelings of dread for the joy and celebration that surrounds you. If these words resonate with you, we encourage you to attend what we call The Long Night Service or Blue Christmas.
