The Cape Fear region is full of song this holiday season. Another choral concert is coming up this weekend with the Wilmington Choral Society. The group will perform the 1st & 2nd parts of Handel's Messiah on Sunday, December 11 at the Wilson Center at 2:00pm. Choir director Paula Brinkman and Board President Kim Leggett joined us in the studio. Considering that the Messiah has been around for 275 years, I asked Paula what gives it such staying power. Listen above.
This Messiah concert features about 100 voices, a harpsichordist, and 14 orchestral musicians. Non-perishable food donations for Mother Hubbard's Cupboard are accepted at the concert. Tickets are available online, at the door, and by telephone at 910-362-7999.
