Last night my husband and I viewed/listened to Handel's Messiah by Heartland Sings out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. The face masks muffled the sound a bit, but the soloists removed them and stood apart from the ensemble when it was their turn. The bassoon? and two trumpets had coverings over parts of them so the exhalations could not escape unfiltered. The question mark for the bassoon is because the whole instrument was in a bag except the mouthpiece so it was hard to tell what it was.
Another concert of Christmas music will be broadcast on December 23rd. I hope I feel well enough to listen to it. They charge for on-demand viewing; but the Messiah and the concert below will be on Fort Wayne TV for free. I see by their chart that their music also is broadcast on DirectTV and Dish but I do not know if that is only in the Fort Wayne broadcast area. Grace Village has set up its TV channels to include South Bend and Fort Wayne.
The Spirit of Christmas
The Spirit of Christmas is presented by Ruoff Mortgage.
The Spirit of Christmas is a concert where vocal music and stunning architecture combine to create lasting memories! Heartland Sings Vocal Artists, directed by Maestro Robert Nance, present music of the season under the Beaux Arts style rotunda of the historic Allen County Courthouse. Hear the harmonies echo from floor to ceiling, and feel your spirit soar, with the rush of dozens of voices singing from on high!
The Spirit of Christmas has become one of Fort Wayne’s favorite holiday traditions and is always a pleasure to bring to life each year. The combination of beautiful voices resonating in this amazing space is sure to enchant audiences of all ages and reminds us of the reason for the season.
LOCAL TV BROADCAST
