Winter Concert
The PA Camerata Singers presented the beloved Messiah by George Frederick Handel, for soloists, chorus and orchestra on Saturday, December 14, 2024. For over three decades, every other year, The Camerata Singers has been offering Handel’s monumental oratorio in its entirety.
Messiah, in three parts, on a text by Charles Jennens from the King James Bible and the Book of Common Prayer, is an extended reflection on the life of Jesus as the Messiah, the Christ, through wonderfully written solo arias and choruses that exhibit Handel's mastery at text painting.
Part I, known as the Christmas portion, deals with the prophecies and events surrounding the birth of Jesus. Part II, the Easter portion, concentrates on the Passion of Jesus, ending with the famous Hallelujah chorus. Part III covers the Apostle Paul's teachings on the Resurrection of the dead and Christ's glorification in heaven.
This year, Camerata was joined by four superb soloists, Katelyn Grace Jackson, soprano; Roger O. Isaacs, countertenor; Rufus Müller, tenor; and Enrico Lagasca, baritone, as well as members of the PA Sinfonia Orchestra, all under the direction of Camerata's Artistic Director and Conductor, Eduardo Azzati.
