The Claremont Symphony Orchestra will present its annual sing-along “Messiah” 1:30 and 4 p.m. Sunday in Bridges Hall of Music on the Pomona College campus, 333 N. College Way, Claremont.

The sing-along, a 40-year tradition for the Claremont Symphony, will include Part 1 of George Frideric Handel’s 1741 oratorio “Messiah,” plus the “Hallelujah!” chorus.

Robert Sage, the orchestra’s music director, will conduct, and the audience will have the opportunity to sing along with every chorus, joining the soloists.

This year’s soloists are Lindsay Feldmeth Westra, soprano; Emily Weinberg, mezzo-soprano; Matthew Dunn, tenor; and Jóhann Schram Reed, bass-baritone, according to a news release.

Admission is free, and music scores will be available to rent for $10 or purchase for $15 (cash only). Those attending may also bring their own music. Handel’s “Messiah” was first performed in 1742 Dublin and had its first London performance in 1743.

The oratorio, telling the story of the life of Christ, is a musical setting of texts selected by Charles Jennens from the King James Bible and the Coverdale Psalter, with Part 1 telling the Christmas story.
