Did you know that the upcoming performance of the Messiah is the first in CONCORA's 40-year history?
While many performances of Handel's Messiah employ large amateur choirs and orchestras, CONCORA's upcoming concert with the HSO will be performed with a choir of 32 professional singers, and a proportionately small Baroque-sized ensemble assembled from among the HSO's finest players. This Messiah offers a rare opportunity for area music-lovers to hear this beloved oratorio in its near-original form.
Richard Coffey, CONCORA's Artistic Director, will conduct the performances. Maestro Coffey is renowned in our region for his special touch with music of Baroque composers, particularly CONCORA's critically-acclaimed performances of Bach with the HSO.
The four vocal soloists are young professionals from the Yale Opera program: Claudia Rosenthal, soprano Kelly Hill, mezzo-soprano Galeano Salas, tenor Andrew Craig Brown, bass-baritone
