UPDATE: BETHANY ORATORIO'S PERFORMANCE OF HANDEL'S MESSIAH

Aug 03, 2020
From Dr. Mark Lucas;

We have determined it will not be possible for a performance of Handel's "Messiah" to take place with full forces on Sunday, October 4. We would have loved to have done this as part of Homecoming Weekend, but it just isn't safe. We will, however, plan for a performance with smaller forces (30 singers and 12 players) at a date to be determined later in the fall. Dr. Lucas has already been working with local health officials to create a protocol (including testing) that will allow us to safely perform this work during the 2020 calendar year. He will be calling on current and former members of the Bethany Oratorio Society to come together to make this happen. More information to come on this!
Events such as "Jazz Walk and Maker's Street," and the "Celebration of Women in Leadership" will be moved to Palm Sunday weekend 2021 (instead of October 15-18). It is hopeful that the production of "Little Women," will also be on Palm Sunday weekend 2021. Stay tuned.

 If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact Dr. Lucas personally at lucas@bethanylb.edu or Ms. Kristy Funk, Messiah Festival Coordinator, at krfunk@bethanylb.edu
