Messiah 2017 was December 3rd at 3:00. Rehearsals were Sundays in November, beginning on the 5th, 2:00 - 4:00 at First United Methodist Church at 202 West Main in Marshalltown, Iowa.

Mary Giese, Gail Reese and Janet put together a presentation entitled"Getting  Handle on Handel and His Messiah." This presentation is available for presentation to your club or church gathering. It is very interesting with a power point loaded with pictures and facts.

Nov. 7 for Entre Nous
Nov. 11 at 7:00 at Hope Methodist Church. 
Nov. 14 for Tuesday Musical
Nov. 19 at 3:40 at First United Methodist.



The Messiah Chorus was larger in 2017 and very tight; a great group of singers. It was an excellent presentation.





Shown here is the chorus - the 2016 chorus was a bit smaller than usual.
