The Golden Gate Symphony Orchestra & Chorus celebrates the holiday season with its annual "Sing It Yourself Messiah" on Sunday, December 18, 6:00 p.m. at Southern Pacific Brewery with additional performances in alternative venues on December 12 and 19. These performances mark the Golden Gate Symphony's 10th annual "Sing It Yourself Messiah," offering audiences the opportunity to raise their voices in one of Handel's most beloved choral works and continuing the organization's mission of making classical music accessible and adventurous for all.
The "Sing It Yourself Messiah" is a longstanding tradition in the Bay Area. Created in 1979 by Milton Salkind (1916-1998), former President of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, these performances were a holiday favorite at Davies Symphony Hall for over 25 years. As a student at the Conservatory during this time, Urs Leonhardt Steiner served as President of the Student Body and worked closely with President Salkind on a number of Conservatory programs designed to take classical music to the San Francisco community at large. After the Conservatory announced that they were discontinuing this popular tradition, Maestro Leonhardt Steiner reimagined and revived the "Sing It Yourself Messiah" in a fitting tribute to his mentor. Ten years later, the tradition now includes everything from a full orchestral and choral performance at the Mission Dolores Basilica, to a raucous singalong at two popular Mission bars, the Southern Pacific Brewery and the Homestead.
