Community Chorus plans Masterworks Concert
St. Augustine Community Chorus returns with its Masterworks Concert at 7 p.m. May 14 at Ancient City Baptist Church, 27 Sevilla St., St. Augustine.
In “Emerging Light,” the chorus will add its collective voices to a masterworks concert celebrating rejuvenation.
The chorus will perform from parts 2 and 3 of “The Messiah.” Handel’s work includes familiar pieces such as “The Hallelujah Chorus” and “Worthy is the Lamb.” This is an opportunity to hear some rarely performed but equally moving pieces.
In the prelude to “The Messiah,” the concert will include more modern works. The singers will be accompanied by a chamber orchestra.
This is a Romanza Festivale concert. For tickets and information, go to staugustinecommunitychorus.org.
