On Sunday, December 14 at 4:00 p.m., Christ the King Catholic Church will present Part I of Handel’s Messiah, featuring the Christ the King Singers, Baroque orchestra, and soloists Heather Hawk, Sabatina Mauro, Justin Lott, and Ryan Kuster. Written in 1741, Messiah remains one of the most beloved works in the choral repertoire. Part I, portraying the prophecy and birth of Christ, will be a highlight of the Christmas season. Presented as part of the Dottie Thompson Concert Series, admission is free; a collection will benefit the series and its future programs.
