Joyce Larson, Artistic Director

Distinguished soloists:

Soprano Sally Messner traveled to Cairo, Egypt in 2006.  This is Sally's second performance with the St. John's Oratorio Chorus.

We welcome mezzo-soprano Nicole Warner,  for her third performance.  Nicole is fluent in German and loves to meet German-speakers in the Twin Cities area.

Brad Bradshaw, tenor, loves cooking, camping, and being outdoors. When not singing, Brad can be found gardening or trying to learn the guitar.  This will be his fifth performance of Messiah with us.

We are pleased to have bass Seth Keeton perform with us this year.   After wanting a scooter for at least 6 years, Seth finally got one and can't wait for spring to come back again. Now that his skills have improved, he's considering putting a basket on the front for his little doggie.
