HANDEL'S MESSIAH: Selections from George Frideric Handel's Messiah will be featured throughout the 10am worship in a "Mini-Messiah." MUSICAL GUESTS: We are thrilled to welcome soprano Mary Bonhag to worship on November 28. Known nationally as an "extraordinary" (Classical Voice N. America) soprano, Mary Bonhag has captivated audiences around the country with her "marvelous versatility" and "supple, expressive" voice (San Antonio News)." Mary and husband Evan Premo are the Artistic Co-Directors of Vermont's Scrag Mountain Music. Since 2010, Scrag Mountain Music has connected Vermont communities to classical music in powerful ways. Mary Bonhag will be accompanied by a special string quartet featuring professional musicians: John Dunlop (cello), Jane Kittredge and Laura Markowitz (violin), and Ana Ruesink (viola).
