A music classic is making a come back to the Bowlus Fine Arts Center. A community choir will perform George Frideric Handel’s “Easter Messiah” at 3 p.m. Sunday in the Bowlus auditorium.
The hour-long concert will feature 41 singers and 12 bell players. Bowlus executive director, Susan Raines, said participants are from Iola, Humboldt, Fort Scott and Moran.
“We wanted to honor the original history of the concert,” Raines said.
The Bowlus hasn’t hosted the “Messiah” concert since the late 1960s.
The ensemble is directed by Terry Meadows, USD 258 music instructor, and will be accompanied on piano by Ted Clous, Allen Community College music director.
Soloists will be Shelly Meadows, soprano, Bob Horn, tenor, Greta Adams, soprano, Russ Valeir, bass, and John Works, bass.
The concert is open to the public, but patrons are welcome to make a donation at the doors.
