Knox Goderich to see 120 voices perform Messiah on Dec. 4 Get your tickets now for the concert event of the season! Join the Blyth Festival Singers and Stratford Con- cert Choir on Sunday, Dec. 4, 2016 3 p.m. at Knox Pres- byterian Church in Goderich. More than 120 singers raise their voices to perform Handel's master opus "Mes- siah." One of Canada's fore- most organists, Ian Sadler will accompany the mass choir on Knox's grand pipe organ - flooding the space with the powerful strains of this epic work. It will be "Messiah" as you have never witnessed it before! Collaborations between Ian Sadler and conductor Sharon Poelstra have included Messiah on three previous occasions but this is the first time that their two choirs, the Blyth Festival Singers and the Stratford Concert Choir will have the pleasure of performing together. The mass choir will be joined by Soprano Jessica Tweedle, Mezzo Soprano Amanda Weatherall, Tenor Marcel vanHelden and Bari- tone Pat Bowman. Submitted Goderich's own Murray Keith, Timpani and Julia Vaughan, Trumpet will add their own special magic to the performance. Many are not aware that Handel turned to composi- tion when a stroke rendered him unable to perform. He was nearly blind when he composed 'Messiah." Though traditionally sung at Easter or Christmas, the sacred work encompasses the life and passion of Christ. Its first performance was on April 13, 1742 in a concert hall on Fishmongers Street in Dublin, Ireland - because it was considered too contro- versial for a church. But 272 years after its inaugural performance audiences still flock to hear this majestic oratorio at Christmas, and rise in elation as the signa- ture "Hallelujah Chorus" fills the hall. The Blyth Festival Singers and Stratford Concert Choir performance of "Messiah" will be on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 3 p.m. at Knox Presbyterian Church, 9 Victoria Street, Goderich, with a reception to follow. Adult tickets are $20. Youth under 16 years of age can get their first taste of this masterwork for only $10. Tickets can be pur- chased from the Blyth Fes- tival Singers or the Blyth Festival Box Office at SA4 fliGEENMITY .c!
