The Burlington Choral Society -- of which I'm a proud Board member -- will present Alexander's Feast, G.F. Handel's rarely performed musical banquet for Alexander the Great next month.

Richard Riley will lead our 80-voice chorus, 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 will be Allison Devery, soprano; Gene Stenger, tenor; and George Cordes, bass.

Tickets are 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.
