Oratorio Singers to present
Messiah in Kings Mountain
The Oratorio Singers of
Charlotte will team up with the
Charlotte Symphony Orchestra on
December 2 to present a spectacu-
lar performance of Handel's
Messiah in Kings Mountain. The
performance, which Joan Laskey,
Vice President for Marketing for
the Charlotte Symphony, remarked
will "be more of an event than just
another concert" is scheduled for
Saturday, December 2 at 8 p.m. at
Barnes Auditorium on the campus
of Kings Mountain High School.
The Oratorio Singers of
Charlotte, the city's largest and
finest choral ensemble, began as
the dream of a few singers and
-their music director over 40 years
ago. The vision in 1951 was an or-
ganization for this city that would
make performances of the great
choral masterpieces possible. The
dream became a reality in 1952
with the performance of Handel's
Judas Maccabaeus by 68 singers at
Meyers Park United Methodist
Church, under the direction of Mr.
Earl FE. Berg and sponsored by the
American Guild of Organists.
Today, the main chorus of 120
highly talented singers includes a
professional core, as well as many
volunteers who hold graduate de-
grees in music. During the tenure
of the director Mary Nell Saunders
the organization founded a 32-
voice chamber chorus and the 66-
voice Charlotte Youth Oratorio
Singers. Together these groups
comprise the largest choral group
in the Carolinas and perform ten or
more different choral concerts each
season for the Charlotte communi-
ty.
The text of the Messiah was
written by Charles Jennens, a
young English aristocrat and con-
sists of passages from both the Old
and New Testaments. Handel
composed the oratorio especially
for that text and it is the most fa-
mous of the 26 oratorios that
Handel composed. The oratorio
was originally commissioned by
the city of Dublin, Ireland and was
