We are excited to have our first Music at Messiah advertiser, James A Fossum of Thrivent Financial, on board. We know that more businesses will follow once they see the quality of the program we are producing. There is still time if you have an artwork ready ad and can email it to us by Sunday evening to be included in the program. 

Please invite your friends and neighbors to attend the Arsenal Brass Quintet concert on Nov 10th at 4 pm.  

Finally, we are pleased to welcome Kert Reedstrom to the Music at Messiah board.  His enthusiasm, business sense and love of classical music is a great addition to the team!   

Concert Time Moved Up to 4 PM on SUNDAY, Nov 10th

Breaking News! We have bumped up the start time of our November 10th performance to 4 PM.

This earlier start time should ensure the performance and the reception following the concert is concluded well in time for the dinner hour.

The posters will be going up around Madison next week.

We have set our advertising rates for the season.  Get in early and save!  Advertisers who book an ad for all four concerts will receive a 25% discount! We'll continue the discounts for advertisers who book our remaining issues also.  I've posted a final draft of our ad rates here. 

We have also set our sponsorship levels for those wishing to support the Music at Messiah Classical Concert Series.  

If you would like to advertise or participate in our sponsorship program, please fill out and mail the Advertising and Sponsorship Form here.

Looking for a few GREAT sponsors

Dear Friends,

We've fixed our first concert date and time.    The Arsenal Brass will begin their concert at 5 PM on Sunday, November 10th.   Here's what looks to be the final poster.  You should start seeing them around Madison, Alabama starting the middle of October.

Music at Messiah is actively seeking businesses, individuals and groups who would like to help us bring more classical music performances to our community.

In support of this we are  working up sponsorship rates for our Program and  looking to find a sponsor (or two) to pay for the cost of printing up posters.  That's that open red space on the poster!

If interested, please let us know ASAP so we can provide you with some options!

Welcome to the Music at Messiah Blog Site!

The Music at Messiah Blog site is officially launched.

If you are familiar with Messiah Lutheran Church, you likely already know that music is a cherished aspect of our worship service.  Music at Messiah's goal is to host four to six classically themed concerts throughout the year in our recently expanded and acoustically rich sanctuary.

Most, but not necessarily all, of the concert series will feature “classical music” performed by  professional or semi-professional musicians, including collegiate performers.  We expect to have a mix of organ, choral, vocal soloists, instrumental soloists and  ensembles perform.

Our very first musical performance will honor the service and sacrifice of our nation's veterans and service members. We are thrilled to present "Arsenal Brass,"  a five piece brass quintet from the U.S. Army Materiel Command Band headquartered at Redstone Arsenal. The performance will take place at Messiah Lutheran Church in Madison, Alabama on November 10th.  

We are still deciding on the start time, but expect it to be in the late afternoon, beginning at 4 or 5.

We are actively seeking corporate sponsorship for the "Music at Messiah" Posters and Programs.   Here's a sneak peek at the artwork & poster design for our November 10th Concert. 
Thank you for stopping by.  There's much more information to follow.
