Update as of March 20:
April 12 (Easter Sunday)
*Handel’s “Messiah,” 3:00 PM @ Presser Hall Auditorium
Tickets: $17 — reserved seating
MODIFICATION: A “Chamber” version of Handel’s Messiah will be performed on Easter by members of the Bethany Oratorio Society, and will be live-streamed. The chorus will be limited to 24 singers and chosen by a drawing of those who have submitted their names. The orchestra will consist of a string quartet, two keyboards, oboes, and trumpets. All performers will be spaced a minimum of 6 feet apart and the total number of those involved will be under 50 persons. Those who have purchased tickets….? How to access the live stream. Will it cost?
AND POSTPONED TO JUNE 19: Another performance, this one featuring the entire Oratorio Society (and more), is planned for the evening of Friday, June 19, in conjunction with the Lindsborg Midsummer’s Festival. This performance will be held outdoors, in front of the Swedish Pavilion in Lindsborg’s Heritage Square. Dr. Lucas is calling this a “Y’all come sing” event, meaning anyone who has ever sung or played Messiah is invited. To join this one-time performance, we ask that you attend a brief rehearsal at Heritage Square Friday, June 19, at 5 pm. This performance will be free and open to the public. However, a free-will offering will be taken to offset the costs of the performance.
