The choir members are on the one hand challenged by the music of the Messiah but also looking forward to singing it. Choir Director Krishan Oberoi has been working with the group to improve their performance. In the bit that I witnessed on Tuesday, the minor adjustments, timing, etc. were impactful.
Some members of the choir took time during a break in rehearsal to talk about the performance.
The recording runs about 3 minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with members of the community chorus getting ready to perform the Christmas portion of the Messiah.
