The Chebucto Orchestral Society of Nova Scotia is proud to present our 45th Annual Messiah from Scratch, a beloved Halifax holiday tradition that brings singers, instrumentalists, and community together through music.
Join us for an engaging afternoon as we rehearse and perform Handel’s Messiah in a single day. Participants will rehearse in separate chorus and orchestra sessions from 1:00–3:00 PM, followed by a performance at 3:30 PM.
