Handel’s “Messiah Sing-Along”
Dr. Edith A. Copley, Conductor
Prescott Chorale & Arizona Philharmonic
Dennis Houser, Artistic Director of Prescott Chorale, Chorus Rehearsal/Preparation
This concert is not part of the Prescott Chorale’s regular season, but an add-on event.
Dive into the heart of Handel’s masterpiece at our Messiah Sing-Along, a unique collaboration between Arizona Philharmonic and Prescott Chorale, under the baton of Dr. Edith A. Copley, the beloved and recently retired regent’s professor of Northern Arizona University’s Chorale department. Whether you’re a seasoned singer or a first-time participant, this event invites you to bring your own Messiah scores and join in the choruses, or simply bask in the surrounding music. With the powerful combination of professional musicians and community voices, you can both hear Handel’s Messiah and become an integral part of its performance, creating a truly immersive and unforgettable experience. Messiah scores will be available for purchase at the door. So, join your voice with a sea of others in the majestic “Hallelujah” chorus and beyond, celebrating the spirit of the season in song.
Venue: Ruth Street Community Theater | 1050 Ruth St, Prescott, AZ 86301

“Choral Music – A Magnificent Obsession”
Come listen to the voices of the Prescott Chorale as they perform three distinctly unique selections of music that will feed (or create) an obsession with exceptional choral music!
Things Eternal draws from the earliest choral compositions of William Byrd, a brilliant and prolific composer said to be one of the finest composers England has ever produced. From Byrd’s stunning music of the 16th century, the Chorale moves to the choral music of prominent young composer, Ola Gjeilo. Described as lush, harmonious and evocative, Gjeilo’s music as performed by the Chorale will make marvelous memories.
The Music In Poetry introduces you to the lyrical writings of romantic poet, Lord Byron, whose words were many times set to music. Johannes Brahms, a well-known and prolific romantic composer, conversely set poetry to his music. Lastly, the more contemporary music of Samuel Barber rounds out this exceptional collection of music presented by the beautiful voices of the Chorale.
The Prescott Chorale presents Loyalty and Honor through the performance of the music from the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III of England. Ralph Vaughan William’s rousing O Clap Your Hands with full choir, organ and brass, will provide a resplendent display of the Chorale’s talented singers, and an exceptional entertainment experience you won’t want to miss!
Venue: St. Luke’s Episcopal Church | 2000 Shepherds Lane, Prescott, AZ
