Annual NCC “Messiah” Sing-Along
November 2023
North Coast Chorale officially kicked off the holiday season with a wonderful, and very generous audience enjoying selections from Handel’s Messiah. . Some listened and some “sang-along” with the Chorale as they exuberantly reverberated the Chorus pieces. Then, as if in another time, everyone enjoyed the talented NCC soloists, and the beautiful accompaniment comprising of six strings, a bassoon, and trumpet, along with Dr. Vincent Jones-Centeno on the Harpsichord.
An abundance of shelf-stable food and monetary donations was received and is greatly appreciated. All donations will benefit the CCA Regional Food Bank.
