About this event

HALLELUJAH!

Bask in Handel's inspiring Messiah while surrounded by candlelight and Calvary's magnificent Tiffany stained-glass masterpieces.

This will be our 10th year bringing this Calvary tradition to the Pittsburgh North Side/Shore area. Our interactive, family-friendly, sell-out concert features professional opera soloists Anna Singer (soprano), Kara Cornell (mezzo-soprano), Kirk Dougherty (tenor), and Matthew Hunt (baritone), as well as a Chamber Orchestra, Festival Choir, and our historic 1895 Farrand & Votey organ. The concert is followed by a reception onsite in our Victorian Chapel.

Four years ago our Festival Choir caught the attention of DCINY (Distinguished Concerts International New York) and was invited to sing the Messiah at Carnegie Hall in New York City over Thanksgiving weekend 2018. It was a tremendous honor to be invited to sing. It was also well-deserved recognition for our choir members' accomplishments since the concert began in 2011, and it was a dream come true - something many of us never thought possible. Come join us as we continue our amazing journey!

We will be performing the “Christmas” portion of Messiah. Calvary's Music Director Brian Burns conducts the event which includes popular regional soloists, a chamber orchestra comprised of some of the area's most accomplished instrumentalists, and the Festival Choir. David Bridge, a past conductor and organist, is at the parlor organ and Calvary's restored 1895 Farrand & Votey organ. The concert is followed by a cookie reception in the Victorian Chapel.

The concert is family-friendly - each child 12 and under will receive an activity pack. This concert is also a sing-along. As an audience member you are not required to sing, but you are certainly invited to sing along on each of the choruses sung by the Festival Choir.

We also offer this concert in support of outreach ministries on Pittsburgh's Northside. This year, as in years past, we ask audience members to bring non-perishable food items and extra shopping tote bags for Northside Common Ministries Food Pantry. Also, tickets are given to neighborhood schools, smaller churches, and groups such as Tickets for Kids.

Tickets are available now at CalvaryPgh.com!

Learn more about our annual Messiah Concert and view our photo albums from concerts past! Also, take a virtual tour of Calvary so you can see the beauty of the venue!

It's a fantastic way to kick off the holiday season, and we invite everyone to join in and sing for the joy of it!

Mon Valley Fans of Live Theater Get a Sumptuous Taste of Future Possibilities

The Cast of "What Do I Wear, 2,500 Tears of Fashion in Theatre" Credit all Photos: Kelly Tunney     The Mon Valley YMCA in Monongahela never looked so festive, so blatantly celebratory, as on the evening of April 13 when a troupe of 16 actors arrived with a trailer full of colorful costumes, many of which were quite elaborate.     The audience barely understood the full depth of the dazzle that awaited them as they took their seats for an event exuberantly titled “What Do I Wear, 2,5000 Years of Fashion in Theatre.”     The fundraiser for Pittsburgh International Classic Theatre was the brainchild of PICT’s artistic director, Elizabeth Elias Huffman. Elizabeth Huffman at the Podium     Huffman conceived of an idea that called for choosing selections from plays that started with the era of the ancient Greeks, marched on through Elizabethan England and Shakespeare, popped in on Restoration England via an American playwright,...

Welcome to Fairyland - The Pittsburgh Savoyards Stage an Enchanting Iolanthe or The Peer and the Peri

      Peter Pan has one, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream has a slew and Gilbert and Sullivan’s Iolanthe, as staged by the Pittsburgh Savoyards, has at least ten - before I stopped counting. Fairies, that is.     Just after the opening overture, performed by the 30-plus orchestra, possibly as best as I ever heard it under the baton of Guy Russo, a bevy of maiden fairies dressed in pastel gossamer fairy garb with wings, frolicked across the stage gleefully singing in full-voiced and stunning harmony ”Tripping hither, tripping thither.”     There was little to no tripping, however, as they danced nimbly to the spirited song, then segued into expressing their discomfort at the loss of Iolanthe (Savannah Simeone), the one fairy who brought such happy song and spirit to their fairy circle.     For such a blissful group there were some draconian laws that govern their behavior, namely, if one were to marry a morta...
