The Rochester Oratorio Society chorus and its small touring ensemble Resonanz, led by Artistic Director Maestro Eric Townell will perform holiday works, including a sing-along performance of selections from Handel’s “Messiah,” a December tradition for Rochester.

“It truly is the most joyful afternoon of the year,” said Townell. “We look forward to this collaboration each year.”

The Oratorio Society will be joined by Hochstein Youth Singers, ROCmusic Collaborative orchestra and drum ensemble, Avon High School Belcanto singers and young dancers from the Rochester Dance Theatre. This family-friendly performance is free of charge and is co-sponsored by the City of Rochester. The event is also sponsored in part by Nocon & Associates, Canandaigua National Bank, Henderson Family Ford Foundation and ESL Federal Credit Union.
