Sneak Peek at This Easter’s ‘Messiah Choral Society of Grand Junction’ Free Concert [PHOTOS]

The Messiah Choral Society of Grand Junction will present their annual free concert of Handel's Messiah this Easter Sunday (April 20th) at 2:30 at Grand Junction High School auditorium. Here's a look at Saturday's dress rehearsal.

The Messiah Choral Society of Grand Junction presents this concert each year as a musical gift to the community. The choir rehearses all year to put on this one free annual concert. This Easter's performance is directed by Dr. Monte Atkinson, and features concertmaster Carlos Elias, violinist Sandra Rivera, principal cellist Kristen Yeon-Ji Yun, and Scott Betts and Judd Berry on trumpet.

If you're familiar with Handel's Messiah, then you know the trumpets have a lot of downtime, as in A LOT of downtime. Thanks to trumpeter Scott Betts for the photos.

Yours truly will be performing on Double Bass. Please try and make this show.
