Our youngest daughter who lives in SC, near us, got a call recently and was asked to perform in the Messiah at a church in Tampa, FL. She is a talented soloist and was honored to be asked.
For those of you who live in that area, I thought I would post the invitation from the church. The only performance left is on Sunday.
On December 11 and 13 the Hillsdale Baptist Church Choir and the Hillsdale Youth Symphony of Citrus Park will join together to present George Friderick Handel's most famous work, "Messiah."Handel's Messiah has won such an honored place in our culture and in our minds and hearts over the past two and a half centuries that many consider it the world's greatest choral work. Annual performances of it have been given without break since 1750, with forces ranging from a handful of singers standing around a piano, to massed choruses with as many as 5000 people.Handel premiered the work in Dublin in 1742 with a chorus of 42 singers, and a twenty one piece orchestra. Hillsdale will present this marvelous work with a comparable number of musicians and will make every effort to perform a faithful rendition of Handel's score. We are delighted to host four guest soloists who will join the HIllsdale musicians for the performances - Beth Barnard, Soprano - Sarah Barker, Alto - Richard Joseph, Tenor - Steven Armstrong, Bass.Celebrate Christmas with Hillsdale by attending our performances of Handel's Messiah!PERFORMANCE DATES:(Free Admission to Concert)Friday, December 11 - 7:00pmSunday, December 13 - 6:00pm
You may also hear it live on Sunday via computer at www.hillsdalebaptist.org
This is Sarah who will be the featured Alto.Normally she sings Soprano. She has a wide range and was happy to take part in the performance.
Let me know if any of you get to attend. I'm sure the program will be a blessing.

How exciting, Ro! I'm going to try to watch it online. What a blessing for Sarah to be involved in such a wonderful event.
Merry Christmas...Kathy
I really wish I lived nearby!!! I would love to see your daughter. I guess she gets her talent from your husband! I have never seen The Messiah live and it is a dream of mine to do so!! We were making plans this year but with Phil's deployment, we never did. Next year will be out as well since he'll be home hopefully just in time for Christmas. Hope the performance was beautiful!!!
Hi Rose, What an honor for your talented daughter to sing. How proud you must be of her and rightfully so. She is a gorgerous girl!!I would love to hear it in person if lived closer, but will look on the site.
Thank you for sharing and blessings to your daughter for an amazing evening.
You asked a few questions on my last post. I will try and answer. The hair modeling time was in the 80's for over a year. Very hard work!! The pedicure spot was for our local ABC news about the ills of the spa machines and the bacteria they can carry and spread. I was asked, by the salon to be interviewed trying the new pipeless machines that perform cleaner.
Hope this asnwers your thoughts.
Congrats to you daughter.
Have a wonderful evening. Tomorrow is the cookie party recipe exchange. Stop by if you have a moment.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
