Handel's Christmas Messiah Concert December 5, 2010
La Canada, California 91011
Join us for what has become an annual Christmas tradition for many people: enjoying Handel’s glorious oratorio “Messiah”. It is his most famous composition and is among the most popular works in the Western choral literature. The LCPC Chancel Choir, Orchestra and Friends will present the full Christmas portion of Handel’s Messiah, plus a handful of choruses from Parts 2 and 3 in a stimulating and refreshing Christmas concert. Featured is a superb cast of soloists, including Lori Stinson (soprano), Diane Wallace (contralto), Matthew Thomas (tenor) and Gregory Geiger (bass). The concert will be directed by Jack Lantz, Director of Music & Worship Arts at La Canada Presbyterian Church.
Prior to the concert, at 3 p.m., Matthew Thomas will present a pre-performance lecture in the LCPC Worship Arts Center on the background of the Handel’s composition of Messiah and the librettist, Charles Jennens.
Tickets are available from the church office 818-790-6708 prior to the concert, or at the door.
