CLEARFIELD – The Clearfield Choral Society, a choir of 32 voices, will be accompanied by a professional 17-piece orchestra made up of musicians from all over the state, as they perform the classical masterwork in Handel’s Messiah at the Presbyterian Church of Clearfield, located at 119 N. Second St., in downtown Clearfield, on May 20 at 3:30 p.m.
The concert is being directed by Jacob Mandell, and will feature soloists Sasha Piastro-Tedford, Samantha Stiner, Robert Laird and Jared von Stufft. Dan Stilson has been the rehearsal pianist, with Catherine Mandell as vocal coach and Mason Strouse as manager.
