The Red Bluff Masterworks Chorale, under the direction of Mark Franklin, will sing a holiday concert at First Church of God on the corner of Luther and South Jackson streets.
The chorale and orchestra will present the beloved Christmas portion of Messiah by George F. Handel. The one-night-only concert will be presented at 7 p.m. on Sunday.
The concert will feature the Red Bluff Masterworks Chorale, local soloists and will be accompanied by a 19-member orchestra.
Soloists in this concert include Laurel Posey, Richard Reynolds, Heidi Uptegrove, Faith Dubke, Julie Kelly and Sharon Davis. The Masterworks Chorale is in its 12th year. The Chorale began as the Red Bluff Messiah Project in 1996 to bring classical choral music to the Red Bluff community.
The volunteer singers come from Red Bluff, Cottonwood, Los Molinos, Gerber and Redding. These dedicated volunteer singers rehearse each Monday evening to prepare for the coming presentations.
The concerts are offered without a ticket price and are supported by the local business community donations received at the door of each concert.
This year's concert is sponsored in part by a grant from the Wal-Mart Community Fund.
Donations will be received at the door to help encourage future concerts of this type.
The love of singing and the community support of attending the concerts encourage the Red Bluff Masterworks Chorale to continue its efforts to bring such choral concerts to Tehama County.
Membership in the Masterworks Chorale is open to singers of high school age and beyond.
There are no auditions to participate. If you would like to help support the efforts of the Red Bluff Masterworks Chorale, desire further information about the chorale or the coming concerts or are interested in becoming a member of this growing musical ensemble, contact Franklin at 527-4203.
