The College Community Chorus sponsors the annual open reading of Handel's Messiah , conducted by our director, Jeff Rehbach. A $5 contribution is requested ($10/family). Members of the Chorus provide refreshments for all to enjoy! This community event is open to all, and typically attracts singers and players numbering in the hundreds! We provide music scores, and encourage all to sing along! Orchestra parts are available for strings, flute/oboe, bassoon, trumpet (in C). Robert Hicks, Jr. of Lincoln, VT provides one of his beautifully crafted harpsichords for the occasion.
