The sounds of Handel’s Messiah will soon fill the air inside Presser Hall on the campus of Bethany College.

The 144th season promises to bring a few new touches from Director of Choral Activities, Dr. Troy Robertson. “One of the most exciting things we have happening this particular season is that the Smoky Valley High School choir is going to be joining us for a couple of movements of Messiah,” Robertson said.

The new director arrived on campus in July and will be conducting his first run of Bach’s Passion According to St. Matthew on Friday, April 11th, and Handel’s Messiah on Sunday April 13th.
