December 10 - Wednesday, December 10 High School Winter Concert: Handel's Messiah with orchestra 7:30 p.m. Los Banos High School Multi-Purpose Room Admission will be $6 for adults, $3 for students

November 26, 2008

On Wednesday, December 10, the Los Banos High School Choirs will present their annual Winter Concert. This year, they will give their biennial performance of Handel’s Messiah with orchestra. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. B

In 1742, Georg Frederick Handel locked himself up in his study for 24 days, after which, he emerged with the entire oratorio in hand. Handel actually created the oratorio form, which is essentially a Baroque opera without costumes and staging, as a genre to be performed during Advent and Lent, when the Church did not allow operas to be presented. The masterpiece reached its first major critical acclaim when it was performed for a Foundling Hospital , i.e., orphanage, and the rest is history.

Since 1996, the Choirs have performed Handel’s Messiah every other year. These concerts used to take place in St. Joseph ’s Catholic Church, but the choirs grew too large to fit in the altar area, and the high school built its new Multi-Purpose Room, so they were moved to the new campus facility in 2004. Choir alumni also join the choirs, along with the Merced College Los Banos Choir.

In order to give the audience the most authentic rendering of this musical masterpiece, we hire an orchestra of professionals. Handel’s original score calls for violins, violas, cellos, basses, oboes, bassoon, and trumpets. Players include:

Dr. Ira Lehn, cello, who was the dean of the University of the Pacific’s Conservatory of Music in the late 70’s and 80’s

Dr. Robert Danziger, bassoon, the professor of bassoon at CSU Stanislaus.

Ms. Milka Kraleva, violin, originally from behind the Iron Curtain, where she was not allowed to play religious music; she plays for the Townsend Opera Players.

Mrs. Allison Peltier, from Modesto , who also plays for the Townsend Opera Players.

Mr. Joe Tovar, violin, who has his music degree from CSU Stanislaus.

Mr. Dan Ijams, oboe, my college roommate, and the chairperson of the Turlock City Schools Music; he has also taught oboe for CSU Stanislaus.

Mrs. Katrina Ijams, violin, Dan’s wife, who has her music degree from San Francisco State .

Dr. Don Carter, our local Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist who plays Contrabass.

Mrs. Donna Harrison, orchestra instructor for Turlock City Schools

Mrs. Carolyn Vierra, our local pianist and organist. She has played nearly every Messiah with us from the very beginning,

Mr. Ivan Albertson, our beloved high school English teacher who has also played Messiah with us from the beginning.

Mr. Wes Wing, a local graduate of Los Banos High School , Mr. Albertson’s pupil, will also be playing violin.

Mr. Dustin Soiseth, a graduate of CSU Stanislaus who has recently earned his master’s degree in trumpet performance and now teaches at Modesto Junior College .

Mr. Colin Tamburri, our local trumpet player and piano tuner, who spent most of his life making his living as a professional trumpet player.

This year’s Messiah Soloists will be Mr. John Mondo, singing “The Trumpet Shall Sound,” and our junior student, Lacie Stevenson, singing, “He Shall Feed His Flock.”

Advance tickets are now available from the choir students. Prices are:
$6 General Admission
$3 High School and Junior High Student Admission

Also, whenever we perform with a professional orchestra, we always welcome donations toward the cost of the orchestra. All donors’ names are listed in the program. If anyone is interested in making a financial contribution to the program, please feel free to send it to:

Los Banos High School Choirs
