VERMONT PHILHARMONIC PRESENTS HANDEL'S MESSIAH -- 60th ANNIVERSARY SEASON

Hallelujah! As Vermont enters the season of cold and dark, Handel's beloved Messiah brings warmth, light and joy. Conducted by Lisa Jablow, the Vermont Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus will present two uplifting performances to put everyone in the holiday spirit, on:

Friday, November 30th at 7:30 pm in St Augustine Catholic Church in Montpelier, and

Sunday, December 2nd at 2:00 pm in the Barre Opera House.

The Vermont Philharmonic is celebrating its 60th Anniversary Season this year by featuring outstanding Vermont soloists with international reputations, including: soprano Sarah Cullins, mezzo-soprano Wendy Hoffman, tenor Adam Hall, and bass Erik Kroncke.

The Vermont Philharmonic performances will present the entire first part of Messiah, with arias and choral numbers that contemplate the idea of a messiah, foretell the coming, and hail the arrival. The concert concludes with two numbers from Part II, including the beloved Hallelujah chorus, and five numbers from Part III.

The Vermont Philharmonic has been making beautiful music since 1959. It is Vermont's oldest community orchestra. The Messiah performances are a Central Vermont favorite holiday tradition. Tickets ($20/adults, $15/seniors, and $5/students) are available at the door.
