March 15 is Music Sunday at the First Congregational Church. The Choir directed by Bill Cowdery will perform Part 2 of Handel's Messiah with an ensemble of strings, trumpets, and organ. Part 2 depicts Christ's suffering, death, and triumph over evil, culminating musically with the Hallelujah Chorus. It has underlying resonance with the season of Lent.
The choir performed Part 1 of Messiah this past December, and they will complete their cycle with Part 3 later this spring. Soloists for this performance include Andrea Dietrich, Ivy Waltz, Mark Lawrence, and Steven Stull.
