Friday, Feb. 13, 7:00 pm 

Comfort ye and come one, come all in a rejoicing spirit to celebrate Handel, a favorite composer to whom we are most thankful. As we will tour this summer to Handel's chosen homeland, we thought it appropriate to honor his birthday with a celebration of his wonderful music. Please join us for a concert to include a raffle, prizes, and audience participation: can you guess how many notes were in that melisma? Our staff singers will present arias, duets, and a favorite chorus in collaboration with instrumentalists from our community, with a reception to follow. Don't miss it!
