Honors College Sees Handel’s Messiah
Author: The Crusader Staff Writer Anna Williams
The Honors College takes a trip to Charlotte at least once a semester to see a symphony, most recently the Honors College saw Handel’s Messiah. This was performed by the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra at the Knight Theatre in December.
These symphony trips are a highlight of the semester. They are a fun cultural experience that many students greatly enjoy. They provide an opportunity to dress up and go out into Charlotte through carpooling with other students in a safe way that is still very much enjoyable. The artistic and cultural events are a highlight of each semester. They are funded through generous donations and a great deal of the Honors College student body attend, from freshman to senior, as well as professors, some of the monks, and some of the seniors.
Honors College sophomore Theresa Brandolini says, “Going to Handel’s Messiah during Advent is a truly beautiful experience and serves as a staunch reminder of the reason why God became man.”
The next symphony trip will be in early April. Students will get a chance to see a symphony written by Brahms. Go to the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra website to learn more about local symphonies!
