JOIN US FOR HANDEL’S MESSIAH!
Video available Friday, December 18, at 7pm It was a dark and stormy night (really!) in December of 2019 when several hundred hardy folks gathered at Our Lady of the Valley Parish in Easthampton for Arcadia Players’ presentation of “Messiah.” Luckily, that performance was filmed, and we are happy to offer it again for those who couldn’t make it that night and for everyone who will miss attending a live performance of Handel’s oratorio this year.
Conductor Woodrow Bynum leads a brisk performance featuring the Arcadia Players, the Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys, Albany, and soloists Sarah Yanovitch, soprano, Margaret Lias, alto, David Vanderwal, tenor and David Tinervia, baritone. Here are two samples: The webcast will launch on Friday, December 18, at 7pm on YouTube and will be available through the remainder of 2020. Click below for the libretto and the notes on the program.
