Nearly everybody is familiar with George Frideric Handel’s “Hallelujah” chorus, and many people have heard much of the first part of the composer’s oratorio “Messiah,” but few people get to hear portions of the second and third parts of his work.
Choral Arts of Chattanooga is about to remedy that.
The choir will present highlights from each of the three sections on Sunday, Nov. 25, at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Chattanooga, and on Tuesday, Nov. 27, at Broad Street United Methodist Church in Cleveland, Tenn.
