Enjoy these Holiday Choral Treasures!

To some of us it can’t be the holidays without hearing (and singing!) Handel’s Messiah!

Messiah, Part 1 performed by Collegium 1704 under the baton of Václav Luks (54:00)

Hallelujah Chorus performed by the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs and the Sydney Philharmonia Orchestra (3:30)

**************************

Considered one of the most popular holiday songs, this is a grand arrangement performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Bell Choir (3:00)

**************************

This hauntingly beautiful piece includes orchestra, boy soprano and a choir that all build to a glorious finish (4:00)

12 Days of Christmas by Straight No Chaser

Listen for more holiday fun than you could ever hope to expect!  (3:30)

Kathleen Henry, Soprano

Why is music (and/or OCC) important in your life?
Music is spiritual for me. It connects me to the supernatural within me and in the universe.

What are you listening to?
I love Bach and Handel and 60’s folk music!

What is your first (or favorite) music experience?
When I was 4, I was a flower girl in our next door neighbor’s wedding. I was all dolled up in baby blue tulle. During the reception, I wandered away from my parents and took myself up to the orchestra leader and told him I could sing. What did I want to sing, he asked, and I answered: Davey Crockett. He pulled the piano bench up to the microphone and stood me up on it and I belted out every verse. My mother was HORRIFIED. “That sounds like Kathy!” she said. It’s been difficult since to get me off a stage.
