Messiah in Bennington Shows Rich Local Musical Talent
A Bennington review lauds the UVM trustees move on funding and celebrates a Messiah performance. The choir earns praise for tone and discipline with strong alto sections and superb Pauline McGuire, while some male voices seem thin. Cook’s orchestration suits the town, the performance lingers yet peaks at Hallelujah, and the writer commends local talent and community support.
