On Sunday afternoon, December 6th at 3:00pm, the Fox Valley Philharmonic Chorus, Choirmaster John Douglas, and the Philharmonic Orchestra, Maestro Maryann Flock, will join forces with guest soloists and the community to sing together the choruses from Georg Frederic Handel's Messiah and other holiday music. This 5th Annual "Sing-Along" Messiah concert will include the "Christmas Section" of Messiah and the famous "Hallelujah Chorus". But this seasonal event is not only for the "do-it-yourself" audience. Everyone wishing to get into the Christmas spirit is welcome to come and listen to the glorious sounds of Christmas music. Admission to the concert is free; however, in a tradition established by Handel's 1742 premier performance for the Irish "debtor's prison," donations are welcome at the concert with proceeds benefiting LifeSpring Ministries of Aurora. The performance will take place at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 420 West Downer Place, Aurora (Parking located behind the church on Garfield Ave.). Audience attendees who are singing along can bring, borrow, or buy the Messiah choral part at the door ($10 per book or refundable deposit). After the concert, there will be a reception with light refreshments. The Philharmonic Orchestra is an affiliate of the Fox Valley Academy of Music Performance. The Academy orchestras will also be performing Christmas favorites, Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony No. 94 and other classical works at their Holiday Concert at 1:00 p.m. Both concerts are partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency. For more information on this and future events, visit the Fox Valley Philharmonic website at www.fvacademy.org, or call 630-476-9072.

I am so thankful that a few of my fellow Batavian’s recommended the Batavia Chamber of Commerce to me. Since I joined I feel as though I have been blessed with a second family with all the support and motivation I get from them on a regular basis. Margaret, Patti and Shirley are the most amazing women. They have great passion for business and helping people. I truly feel they care about my business on a personal level and want to see it grow and succeed as much as I do! They have gone the extra mile to get my name and my business name out there and introduce me to the business community. The Chamber has so many opportunities available that have helped my business both grow and problem solve such as the free monthly Networking It events. I highly recommend the Batavia Chamber of Commerce to all business professionals.
