Hope this is one I’m chosen for. I love Handel’s Messiah.
This would be amazing! I’d love to attend and hear the beautiful music.
Would love to win – grew up with my mom playing the Messiah on the record player, and I could really use some holiday cheer!
We’d love to win tickets to The Messiah – such an amazing piece of music!
I’ve never attended a chamber concert before and this particular one would be so nice to see and hear. Would love to attend the Sunday the 23rd performance at 3pm!! Thank you!!
I live right next door to St. Henry’s church and would love to catch the concert there.
I fell in love with Handel’s Messiah over 14 years ago in high school choir. I go to the sing-along every year. Would love to see/hear an actual performance of it!
I sang this in choir in high school and it brings me back every time I hear it!
I would love to bring my daughter! Thanks PDX Pipeline!
It would be incredible to win tickets to this event. I have been to a choral/orchestral performance in years!
King of Kings! And Lord of Lords! I would verily sing Hallelujah if I were able to attend this most excellent of Messiahs…
Would love to attend with my mom!
This sounds really lovely.
I have a good friend I would love to take to this. He would love to go and I would love to take him, thank-you!!
I haven’t been to a Handel’s Messiah performance for 30 years! I would love to win these tickets! And this one uses visual arts and video! How innovative!
What an amazing opportunity, I would love to go and take my good friend.
i’d love to win tickets and make this a special night…
I would love to give this to my daughter as a Christmas present!
I’d love to give this to my daughter as a Christmas present!
I would give this to my mom.
if music be the soul of love, play on
Give me tickets.
Ohhh! I would love to take my best friend to this concert. Handel’s Messiah is her favorite of favorite choral pieces and I know she would love to soak in a live performance. Oh, please, please, please pick us for these free tickets!
Hi I am a mother of three children who have been layed off right before the holidays and I would love to be able to take my children to something nice for christmas. Thanks
We just moved to Portland after falling in love over many visits. Would love to see this performance in our new town
This was a family tradition with my family growing up! One year my mother auditioned for the part of the soprano and was on live television singing the Messiah! I haven’t been in years but it would be wonderful to experience again.
I think Handel’s Messiah is one of the most moving pieces of music! Haven’t seen it in concert since I was a kid and would love to go. Can’t afford tix, so hope I will get a chance to go.
Sounds like a great way to spend an evening.
This is supposed to be ‘the holiday music to appreciate’ according to my roommate! Having arrived in Portland a few weeks ago, I am quite impressed at the variety of talent here. What a groovy contest; what an amazing website!!
I would love to bring all six people in my family and receiving 2 free tickets would help make that possible. Thanks!
I would like to go because nothing says Christmas like the Messiah!
Thank-you for providing this opportunity! I would love to take a new friend and his wife who need some uplifting music to refresh there soul.
Pick me and I will share this gift with many, THANK-YOU.
To see The Messiah live- what a way to remain present in these sometimes trying times. Thanks for gifting these!
Would love to win these! Visiting my daughter and would like to do this with her to celebrate the season.
My mom would love to go to this with me- it would be a real treat!
We are traveling from Eastern Oregon to Portland for a medical appointment on the 19th and leaving the next day. This would be a great way to relax and treat my friend. We’ve never been to Handel’s Messiah before and are sure to be amazed! I was interested in attending but the cost of tickets is high and we are on a very tight budget. Thank you for the opportunity to win tickets! Happy Holidays!
I would love to enjoy this incredible musicianship. Good luck to all!
I have never seen Handel’s Messiah live, but I know how much different it is to be seated in the audience with live singers performing their hearts out. I would love to see this!
I actually really enjoy classical music, including Handel, but have never been to a symphony or orchestra production. This would be great since I usually don’t get out much. Intelligent entertainment…my kind of thing.
PDXPipeline, you are the best Christmas present ever. Now Portland gets a year-round stockingful of great things to do, with this magical, wonderful, night of music to top things off! PDXPipeline/Santa Baby, would you put some Messiah tickets under the tree, for me?
“Fa la la la la” is the newest (and greatest) thing my 1.5 year old says. He loves music, loves choirs, and this would make his Christmas so wonderful! Choose Jack!
This would be a great friday night outing. Love classical christmas music
oh i would soooo love to win this! it could be my husband’s pre Christmas gift, since we really can’t afford to exchange this year.
I loved singing in the Messiah when I was in high school and college choirs; later I enjoyed sing along performances in a small town. It would bring back memories to go again.
I would like to win tickets because I have never been able to afford to take my children to an Oratorio. This would be a wonderful educational family experience.
