Dear Friends, Family, and Colleagues,

I am honored to be singing as Mezzo-Soprano soloist in this Handel Messiah performance in my beloved city of New Orleans, with the Symphony Chorus of New Orleans and orchestra. Please spread the word about this special concert performance.
Sincerely,
Lainie

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Symphony Chorus of New Orleans to perform Handel's Messiah

New Orleans, Louisiana, November 14, 2005 – Although Hurricane Katrina forced the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra to cancel its performance of Handel's Messiah, its principal chorus, Symphony Chorus of New Orleans, is keeping the tradition alive in the devastated city."This will send an important message to our singers, our community and the rest of the country that the city is rising from the storm's chaos and muck", said Steven Edwards, the chorus music director. Within weeks after Katrina scattered last season's 102 singers, 85 got in touch through the Internet and
made it clear they wanted to perform Messiah. One drives in each Tuesday from Alexandria; a halfdozen come from Baton Rouge. "The perseverance and enthusiasm of our singers is astounding", administrative director Jay Reso said.
