    Flagstaff AZ (November 15, 2012) – Handel’s “Messiah”, featuring the Master Chorale of Flagstaff, NAU faculty soloists and a guest chamber orchestra consisting of Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra members, will be held Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at Trinity Heights United Methodist Church, 3600 N. 4th St. in Flagstaff.

    Deborah Raymond, Judith Cloud, Ricardo Pereira, and Allen Saunders, all faculty members in the NAU School of Music voice department, and Quentin Lee, a music major, will be the featured soloists.  Cindy Gould, principal trumpet in the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra, will also be featured playing “The trumpet shall sound.”  Edie Copley, Regents’ Professor and director of Choral Studies at NAU will conduct the performance.

    The Master Chorale of Flagstaff is a community choir comprised of 101 singers.  The performance of Handel’s “Messiah” is a holiday tradition in the community spanning more than 40 years. 

    Dr. Copley has conducted the “Messiah” probably 10 times since coming to NAU in 1990.  Other years it has rotated between voice faculty members in the School of Music.

    “It is a challenge to prepare and present “Messiah” each year, but the music is so uplifting to sing and to hear that it is always an inspiring evening for the singers and the audience!” said Copley.  “Next year, the plan is to bring back the “Messiah” Community Sing-along, where everyone who would like to sing brings their “Messiah” score and sings with along with the orchestra!”

    The performance is sponsored by Findlay Toyota of Flagstaff.

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
