Messiah Choral Society

From our special Easter Season concert in collaboration with the Cathedral Church of Saint Luke Concert Series.
Selections from Handel’s Messiah were performed on Sunday April 14, 2024.

Dear friends,

I'd like to draw your attention to a cause close to our hearts. In 2012, Messiah Choral Society started asking concert attendees to bring food donations to our concert. Of course, you responded with gusto. Thank you!

Enter Covid... As we couldn't meet in person in 2020, we turned to a virtual food drive. Our goal that year was $1,000 and we raised $2,322, thanks to your continued generosity. Our goal this year is $2,325, through Second Harvest Food Bank.

Your support goes a long way, benefiting those in Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Volusia counties. Join us in making a positive impact on our community. Every donation, regardless of size, helps ensure that no one goes hungry this holiday season. Thank you for considering and being a part of this meaningful initiative.

To contribute, please follow the link below:

You Can Help Give Hope for the Holidays! Every $10 donated will provide 40 meals to kids and families facing hunger in our community .

Remember the Red Chair Project? This was our first submission. We loved this beauty!

Did you have to miss the concert this year? Don't worry! We were able to record the concert in its entirety... and we do mean entirety: we sang and played the whole oratorio. Click below! Also, don't forget to search our page for our virtual food drive link, as well.

The holidays are approaching, but not everyone in Central Florida is looking forward to a season of comfort and joy. Many of our neighbors have had to cut back on food to keep up with rising costs and high inflation.

Because of this, the Messiah Choral Society Virtual Food Drive is up and running in order to raise funds and make an impact for our neighbors facing hunger through Second Harvest Food Bank. Please show your support by making a donation to help us reach our fundraising goal of $2,325. Your gift of hope will mean so much to so many in our community during this difficult time.

For every $10 donated to the Virtual Food Drive, Second Harvest can distribute 40 more meals into our community. Will you please give the gift of hope and make a difference in the lives of those facing hunger?

You can make your donation online by clicking on the link and following their directions. Every dollar makes an incredible difference!

Nobody else in our choir can claim to have stuck it out for fifty years! Congrats, Gene Tate!

For 50 years in an Orlando tradition, Gene Tate has sung ‘Hallelujah!’ For 50 years, the Messiah Choral Society has provided Central Florida with free Christmas cheer. And for 50 years, Gene Tate hasn’t missed a beat. Last Sunday, Tate, 90, was rehearsing Handel’s masterwork — just as he has been doing since the organization’s founding in 1973. “It’s the ca...

Are you ready for an amazing event? This will be our 50th performance, and you won't want to miss it. Share this flyer with friends and family, and plan on an exceptional afternoon! Soloists, a full orchestra and 100+ choir members will (it is rumored) perform Handel's entire oratorio! This will be our first performance in the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. Save the date: November 20th at 3:00 p.m.

Won’t you help me to Central Florida families, who struggle to have enough to eat? Please support our Virtual Food Drive. We are still able to take donations at our event November 21st -- thank you! A virtual donation, however, seems to stretch a bit further: For every $10 donated, Second Harvest can distribute 40 meals! Our goal this year is $2,323.00.
