Outgoing Seattle Symphony conductor Gerard Schwarz organized a massive choir on December 11th to celebrate the season at the Downtown Nordstrom. Below is the clip of nearly 600 singers performing Handel's majestic Messiah:

Regarding the event, Schwarz said, "For me, there's nothing more wonderful to do in life than to be able to do this for free in a public place with hundreds of people participating and enjoying. It was really quite a moving experience for me." Schwarz has guided the Seattle Symphony for 26 years. He will be sorely missed.
