The program will include:

• Handel, Messiah

About the performers:

The Southeast Missouri Symphony Orchestra is a full symphonic orchestra that performs the great symphonic orchestra repertoire from the 18th century to today.  It performs four subscription series concerts each year, and also presents free educational programs for schools and for the community.  Its artistic director, Dr. Sara Edgerton, is a faculty member of Southeast Missouri State University; she is also the Professor of Cello and String Bass at Southeast.

The Choral Union is the University’s largest choir. Each semester, singers from the University and the community gather to rehearse and perform major choral works with the Southeast Missouri Symphony Orchestra. The Choral Union has performed masterworks from Handel’s Messiah to Rutter’s Requiem, as well as works commissioned especially for Southeast Missouri State University.

The University Choir is Southeast’s premiere choral ensemble. Open to all University students by audition, this 50-voice choir performs vocal music of the highest quality—not just from the classical choral repertoire—but spirituals and folk songs from America and abroad.

Dr. Steven Hendricks, Director of Choral Activities at Southeast Missouri State University, will conduct the Messiah; Dr. Edgerton will conduct the Haydn Symphony.
