G. F. Handel (Bill Bunting) contemplates his next work
in October 1638


VOICES Music Director Lynne Ransom meets G. F. Handel
(and vice versa)


The Rev. Charles Jennens (Ron O'Reilly) provides an inspiring story of the Plagues and the Exodus


Jennens and Handel explore cultural and personal layers of meanings to the story


Handel transforms passages from Psalms and Exodus and a flood of dramatic musical ideas into a great choral work


G. F. Handel gives Lynne some "new" music to try with VOICES


An attentive and appreciative audience sits between the choruses.

VOICES thanks all who made the evening a distinct pleasure and success! A special thanks to Laurie Tema-Lyn and other Chorale members who provided our Passover refreshments. We look forward to seeing you at our performances.
