Heartland Sings: Messiah by G. F. Handel December 14, 2008

This presentation of Messiah is performed in a manner typical of Handel’s day, featuring chamber choir and orchestra with soloists from the chorus. Tempi are lighter and vocal demands on the singer are no less than virtuosic. The oratorio will be performed with one intermission; duration of the concert is approximately 2 hours.

A pre-concert reception will be held in the Folsom Room at Plymouth Congregational Church one hour prior to performance. The reception will also feature a brief program on historical images and iconography of the Messiah prepared by University of Saint Francis art historian Esperanca Camara. Coffee, tea and light refreshments will be served. There is no extra charge for this reception.
