Distinguished soloists:
Soprano Melissa Kelly Cardamone is a Twin Cities native and a graduate of Armstrong High School in Plymouth. This is her second performance of Messiah with us and she has also performed in a Mozart concert with us.
We welcome mezzo-soprano Nicole Warner, for her second performance. Check out her column called the "Twin Cities Collaborative" on the website "Notes on the Road."
Brad Bradshaw, tenor, was discovered while singing Bach (of course) with the Bach Society. This will be his fourth performance of Messiah with us.
Bass Aaron Larson's, twin daughters developed a Messiah obsession over the past year and have been offering advice for his interpretation of "The Trumpet Shall Sound." They hope he'll add the choreography they suggested. This is Aaron's first Messiah with us.
