Conductor Tatsuo Hoshina (left) and bass soloist Lee Jamieson
prepare for one of Handel’s greatest oratorios, Judas Maccabaeus.
The show will be held April 7 and 8 at 8:00 p.m. in the Douglas College
Performing Arts Theatre. Tickets will be available at the door.

The Judas Maccabaeus piece is
rarely performed, says Hoshina,
but when Handel wrote it in 1745,
it was a bigger success than his
well-known piece "Messiah".

"Judas Maccabaeus is one of
Handel's great oratorios, which is
like a sacred text without theatre,"
says Hoshina. "It’s based on the
story of a tribe of Israelites over-
coming an invasion of Syrians."

Soloists in the show include
soprano Fiona Blackburn and alto

Bonnie Dodds of Coquitlam, tenor
David Meale and bass Lee
Jamieson of White Rock. Douglas
College Music Instructor John
Glofcheskie will play harpsichord,
and Jan Hampton will play con-
tinuo cello. Hoshina says mem-
bers of the Douglas College
Choral Society come from Bur-
naby, New Westminster, Rich-
mond and many other parts of the
lower and.
