The following announcement comes from our friends at the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra (below):
The Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra Chorus announces auditions for its 2014 performance of George Frideric Handel’s Baroque oratorio “Messiah.” (You can hear the most famous chorus — the Hallelujah Chorus — at the bottom in a popular YouTube video that has almost 3 million hits.)
This year, the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra and Chorus, under the baton of longtime WCO music director and conductor Andrew Sewell, will perform “Messiah” at the Blackhawk Church in Middleton (below top), the Stoughton Opera House (below middle) and the Al Ringling Theater (below bottom) in Baraboo.
Come be a part of the six-year tradition of “Messiah” with the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra and guest soloists.
