|  | Did you know that the upcoming performanceof the Messiah is the first in
 CONCORA's 40-year history?
 While many performances of Handel's Messiah employ large amateur choirs and orchestras, CONCORA's upcoming concert with the HSO will be performed with a choir of 32 professional singers, and a proportionately
 small Baroque-sized ensemble assembled from among the HSO's finest players.
 This Messiah offers a rare opportunity for area music-lovers
 to hear this beloved oratorio in its near-original form.
 
 Richard Coffey, CONCORA's Artistic Director, will conduct the performances.
 Maestro Coffey is renowned in our region for his
 special touch with music of Baroque composers, particularly
 CONCORA's critically-acclaimed performances of Bach with the HSO.
 The four vocal soloists are young professionals from the Yale Opera program:Claudia Rosenthal, soprano
 Kelly Hill, mezzo-soprano
 Galeano Salas, tenor
 Andrew Craig Brown, bass-baritone
