A year ago, on Sunday December 18, 2011 Suzanne & Henry Gurr went to Columbia SC, and experienced a GREAT performance of HANDEL'S “MESSIAH”!! This was a choir & Orchestra CONCERT, 4 pm, at (and sponsored by) Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 1100 Sumter Street, Columbia, SC 29201. The complete work performed by the Cathedral Choir of Men & Boys, Choir of Men & Girls, and the South Carolina Philhamonic. Because the hall was sold out, we got there early to get a seat, giving me time to take this and the next photo . While walking down the isle, I had short conversations with several groups of people on the virtues of various recordings of Handel’s work. Naturally I mentioned in our Xmas Letter. This being a Sunday, we attended Columbia Friends Quaker Meeting in the morning, shared lunch with Quaker Friends, Suzanne did shopping at EarthFare Grocery store, and in PM Henry was in attendance at the Anti War Rally, on SC State House steps, as you see , starting is the 2nd next photo.
