Donate to Messiah Choral Society
Although our Society's yearly performance of Handel's Messiah is free to the public, it actually costs the Society more than $30,000 each year to present a single concert of this glorious masterwork. Our dedication to providing our local community with the most extraordinary musical experience mandates we utilize paid professional soloists and orchestra members. We also incur expenses for usage of the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre, program production, and many other requirements for producing the highest quality performance.
If you are unable to become a Full (singing) Member of our Society, there are many other ways you can assist us in continuing to give the gift of Handel's Messiah to Orlando music enthusiasts year after year:

Purchase Peanuts and Cashews from MCS
Each year, the Society sells "Aunt Ruby's" North Carolina gourmet peanuts and cashews, a delicious way to help us offset some of the expenses we incur in producing our performance of Handel's Messiah. These are the best peanuts and you've ever tasted! Choir members click here for the Peanut Campaign 2010 order form. Peanut orders are accepted throughout the year.
