My wife and I had the immense privilege of attending the CSO’s presentation of The Messiah at the Cathedral last evening. Sublime performance. I am usually most moved by the transcendent harmonies of the choir , and no less last evening, but the soloists seemed to sense that their voices soared in the cathedral acoustics and sung with such passion. God’s Word proclaimed in majestic human voice. The entire performance was without a doubt a foretaste of heaven itself. Thank you, Ms DeWitt and the entire CSO.
