Handel’s
Messiah
The
Chaplaincy of Aquitaine is organising its second 'scratch Messiah on 23
October 2010
in L'Eglise de la Cité in Perigueux in
aid of two charities, Emmaüs, as in 2008, and L'Association des
Paralysés de France.
Since
our first Messiah the orchestra has played for both the concerts
(2009, Requiem de Fauré) and (2010 Mozart Requiem) presented by
Association Vocale Variations, under the direction of John Jenkins
and our loyal soloists have participated in each concert and will be
joining us this October
This
again promises to be an exceptional occasion for the performance of
this wonderful choral work. More information regarding the
performance and tickets etc. will follow soon.

classes. An excellent lunch and supper was provided with an all day
bar, all important on this hot day!.

the book and brocante stall, and buy plants for the summer season.
Many thanks to Philip Pearce and John Hilton for devoting so much
time and effort to these stalls, which raised over 200 Euros.
The
swimming pool was open for use for guests to cool off between rounds.
