The Knoxville Choral Society's November 4 concert, Handel Masterworks, takes a look at the musical legacy of the Baroque musical genius, George Frederic Handel. Handel was well-known for his operas, oratorios, anthems, and organ concertos. Handel's musical language left a lasting impression on nearly all of the greatest composers who followed him. The Handel Masterworks concert showcases Handel's ability to write both complex and seemingly simple choral music. The repertoire will include two of the grand coronation anthems, Zadok the Priest, and The King Shall Rejoice, Handel's virtuosic setting of Psalm 110, Dixit Dominus, and audience favorites from Messiah.

Join the Knoxville Choral Society under the direction of conductor and artistic director, John R. Orr, and a professional orchestra for an evening of Baroque music by George Frederic Handel. The Handel Masterworks Knoxville performance takes place Sunday, November 4, 7:00pm in Loudon County at The Community Church at Tellico Village. See www.tellicochurch.org for information on the Loudon performance. Tickets are $10 for adults.

Since beginning his career in 1959, Taylor has amassed an extensive list of credits in episodic television, among them appearances on The Outer Limits, Have Gun Will Travel, Walt Disney Presents, Bonanza, and an eight-year run as Newly O'Brien in the landmark television series, Gunsmoke, which, amazingly, is still broadcast daily all over the United States.
