For the second year running, the
Edinburgh University Music Society and Bethany Christian Trust
are teaming up to bring you The Big Sing 2012.
Saturday 3rd November 2012
St Cuthbert’s Parish Church
Come along and sing Handel’s Messiah under the baton
of legendary past EUMS conductor Nick Fletcher
whilst supporting Bethany’s acclaimed ‘Stop Homelessness’ campaign.
THE EVENT
The event will involve rehearsals throughout the day (with tea and coffee being provided) and a concert in the evening, where performers and audience members will be able to bid for the chance to conduct the Hallelujah Chorus in all of its glory. Music will be available to hire for £2 per copy.
Invite all of your friends and family to come and see the concert in the evening… We will also make a collection at the end of the evening, and any donations will be more than welcome. All proceeds will be given to Bethany Christian Trust to support their Stop Homelessness campaign.
Concert dress for the day will be brightly coloured shirts and blouses!
ON THE DAY
Rehearsals will run all day with the concert taking place in the evening. Doors will open at 9.30 with Nick starting rehearsals at 10am. There will be a bake sale during the day and at the interval in the evening.

Bethany’s mission is to relieve the suffering and meet the long term needs of homeless and vulnerable people. Every year Bethany helps over 4,000 people to find, equip and maintain a home, overcome addictions and tackle other social and educational barriers which prevent them from living a full and healthy life.
Bethany offers shelter and so much more besides, working with people to address the root causes of homelessness so they can move on into independent living. Bethany gives homeless and vulnerable people hope and a future. Watch the video to find out more and get a feel for the campaign.
