BBC Sing Hallelujah project

5 November 2009

This autumn we're inviting as many people as possible across the UK to perform the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah.

The BBC, led by Radio 3, in partnership with English National Opera, encourage everyone to find their voice and discover the joy of singing in Handel's anniversary year.

If you are already an experienced singer or in a choir, then perform the Hallelujah Chorus in November or December and send us details via bbc.co.uk/sing so we can encourage audiences to find you.

You can record your own performance and upload to the website from November as part of one giant Hallelujah Chorus.

If you are new to singing you can find your local choir performance via our interactive map, with over 200 events listed so far. Many provide the opportunity for new audiences to join in, so find out what's happening near you.

And if you don't know the Hallelujah Chorus, a newly commissioned series of downloads are now available online to help everyone learn the music. Plus vocal tips and tutorials in the 'learn to sing' section for beginners.

Listen out for Sing Hallelujah this autumn on BBC Radio 3, BBC Local Radio in England and across the BBC in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
