Probably most of us are familiar with George Frideric Handel’s “Messiah.” But who knew that the now-famous oratorio had its world
premiere in Dublin in 1742?

The City Cantabile Choir performed “Handel Meets the Irish,” a unique mix of traditional
Celtic music and Christmas solos and choruses from the Messiah, at their annual
holiday concert last night. We really enjoyed the choir’s Celtic-themed concert a couple of years ago, and this year’s concert at University Christian Church
was even better. To round off the lively Irish music, a couple of teenagers
performed step dances. Their legs moved so fast, but my sketch makes them look
like they were just standing there!

Technical note: Sketching dark concerts is now a breeze with
my Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 lamp
clamped onto my sketchbook! I’ve had a chance to use it only a couple of times since
I got it a year ago, so it was fun to use it again.
Good job on the poses of the dancers and the musicians. Nicely done!
