Newport Classical presents 'Messiah' this Sunday at Rosecliff

Posted

Newport Classical celebrates the season with two weekends of holiday programs in December – "Messiah at the Mansion," featuring Ensemble Altera and The Choir School of Newport County in two performances on Sunday, Dec. 4, at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. at Rosecliff (548 Bellevue Ave.), and "Classical Christmas at Emmanuel" on Saturday, Dec. 10, at 3 p.m. at Emmanuel Church (42 Dearborn St.), which concludes with sing-along carols and a festive reception.

"Messiah at the Mansion" on Dec. 4 features Handel’s iconic oratorio, "Messiah," performed by Rhode Island’s fast-rising Ensemble Altera, led by Christopher Lowrey, and the Professional Choristers of The Choir School of Newport County, led by Peter Berton. Audiences will enjoy a boldly reimagined chamber version of this timeless classic, including the famous “Hallelujah Chorus,” surrounded by the splendor of Rosecliff mansion. Newport Classical is proud to present the second year of this new, annual holiday tradition, perfect for the whole family. Messiah at the Mansion is sponsored by Cynthia Sinclair through her generous support of The Choir School of Newport County.

"Classical Christmas at Emmanuel" on Dec. 10 is a community celebration, featuring classical Christmas repertoire performed by Emmanuel Church Director of Music and Events Randy Elkins, conductor and organ; Newport Classical Board President Suzanna Laramee, piano; Lucas Swanson, trumpet; with vocalists (and sisters) Meaghan Kelly Brower, Alison Kelly Hosford, and Kate Kelly Longo; and the Emmanuel Church Choir. The collaborative performance will conclude with sing-along carols and a joyous reception hosted by the Parishioners of Emmanuel Church.
