Messiah poster
Saw this poster from a performance of Messiah performed in Sioux City in 1940!
Luther Choral Festival in Berlin
One more rehearsal to go before the performance Saturday evening. 280 singers from the US have been working with Helmut Rilling on Bach's "Ein Fest Burg" and two Mendelssohn pieces, "Wir Glauben all an einen Gott" and the gorgeous, touching Psalm 42, "Wie der Hirsch schreit." Beautiful.
Was this poster in the Handel museum? If so, I'll bet it made your heart skip a beat (or two).
ReplyDeleteYes, the house where Handel was born. And we sent a picture of it to Travis - he is now Executive Director of the Sioux City Symphony!
