The Burlington Choral Society will present Alexander's Feast, G.F. Handel's musical banquet for Alexander the Great, as its fall concert.

Richard Riley will lead the 80-voice chorus, soloists and orchestra on Saturday, Nov. 18, 7:30 p.m. at the College Street Congregational Church, 265 College St., in Burlington, VT.

Alexander's Feast -- a hit in London in 1736 -- traces the Greek emperor's moods from triumphant to amorous to melancholy. His mistress, Thais, incites fiery vengeance over the Persians, but another woman rules the gorgeous final movements: St. Cecilia, patron of musicians, blesses the evening as "sacred to harmony and love."

Soloists will be Allison Devery, soprano; Gene Stenger, tenor; and George Cordes, bass.

Tickets are at the Flynn Box Office, flynntix.org and (802) 86-FLYNN. Prices are $25 for adults and $20 for students and seniors.
