Dear Friends and Music Lovers,
The Burlington Choral Society will present Alexander's Feast, G.F. Handel's rarely performed musical banquet for Alexander the Great next month.
Richard Riley is leading the 86-voice chorus (largest in the state), with soloists and orchestra on Saturday, Nov. 18, 7:30 p.m. at the College Street Congregational Church in Burlington, VT.
Alexander's Feast traces the Greek emperor's moods from triumphant to amorous to melancholy to murderous. The work ends with gorgeous movements celebrating Saint Cecilia, patron of musicians.
Soloists are: Allison Devery, soprano; Gene Stenger, tenor; and George Cordes, bass.
Tickets are available at the Flynn Box Office, FlynnTix and (802) 86-FLYNN. Prices are $25 for adults and $20 for students and seniors. I encourage you to buy your tickets in advance, as shows do sell out!
And if you really want to plan ahead, the spring concert will be A Baltic Heartbeat: Choral Music from Latvia, on April 28, 2018, also at the College Street Congregational Church.
More information is available at www.bcsvermont.org
Hoping to see you at the concert!
