This testimonial is a good measure of how much the audience enjoyed the Sing-Along.

Awesome job!

Dear Angela,

Congratulations!!
That was quite an accomplishment for a first year Messiah! I had been to the
Boston Symphony Orchestra one, but I think yours was more fun. And many in the
audience were half-surprised when they realized that the “encore” included them
singing the Hallelujah again. But I think the effect was wonderful! Everyone knew
what to expect and I think the second time around, they were more into it.

Awesome job!

The foundation ladies did an outstanding job organizing it and other previous
events. Please send my congrats to them too.
