I can't tell you what a wonderful evening it was last night! I enjoyed every moment of the concert! The combination of the Pacific Baroque Orchestra + St. Christopher's Singers + Victoria Children's Choir was unbelievable. The performance was articulate and powerful! You moved the audience to a thunderous standing ovation!

ReplyDeleteMany thanks and blessings to Madeleine and Brian Humer for their hard work and enthusiasm! We need to see more of these recording quality events in Victoria!
ReplyDeleteGood morning,
ReplyDeleteI am putting together a bulletin board for the Music Library here at the College of William and Mary in Virginia to celebrate Handel 2009. Professor Ruth van Baak Griffioen is teaching a freshman seminar called The Music of Handel.
I would love to present on the bulletin board displays of 2009 Handel festivals and celebrations around the world. Do you have any material such as play bills, posters, or concert programs you could send? Anything however small would be most appreciated.
Best regards,
Diane Dudley
