Orchestra Iowa kicks off its holiday concert season with “Messiah” Nov. 20 at the Paramount, and Nov. 21 at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts.
Joining the Orchestra will be the Chamber Singers of Iowa City, and soloists, Jessica Pray, Suzanne Lommler, Eric Barry, and Craig Irvin.
Known primarily, of course, for The Hallelujah Chorus, Tim confesses that it’s the solo arias that he finds the most impactful from Handel’s seminal work. He also explains how the tradition of standing during the Hallelujah Chorus began. And yep, it has something to do with the King’s backside!
