Sing Hallelujah

Sing Hallelujah is a nationwide project which encourages people to find their voice and discover the joy of singing through Handel's famous "Hallelujah Chorus". Sing Hallelujah is a project, led by BBC Radio 3, and English National Opera (ENO). We’re inviting choirs to learn and perform the Hallelujah Chorus, from Messiah, during November and December 2009.

For more information, including how to get involved, and how to register for a place on the two free Sing Hallelujah events on 5 and 6 December 2009, follow the link below.

The Choir programme will be following the Sing Hallelujah project closely, so tune in regularly for updates!
