Come and enjoy Middlebury's annual Messiah Sing, a community tradition since 1984, hosted by the Congregational Church of Middlebury, UCC, beginning at 2:00 pm on Sunday, December 21, 2025.

Singers, instrumentalists, and all who enjoy music are warmly welcomed to sing or play along — or simply come to watch and listen — as we hear soloists from the local community, and together we all sing many favorite choruses from The Messiah by George Frederic Handel. Jeff Rehbach conducts.

Solo arias will be accompanied by chamber music players David Gusakov and Emily Sunderman, violins; Bill Pierson, viola; Dieuwke Davydov, cello. Jeff Buettner and Ronnie Romano play harpsichord and organ. All the players who come will join in accompanying the hundreds of audience singers to create a glorious sound for the choral selections.

Music scores are provided (or bring your own) for singers. We also have orchestra parts for strings, flute, oboe and bassoon.

This event is sponsored in part by the Middlebury Community Music Center. Contact Jeff Rehbach for more information.
