As part of the outreach program of North Shore Choral Society (NSCS), Evanston Oakton Elementary School grades 3-5 had the chance to learn about and listen to excerpts from George Frideric Handel's Messiah.

Sixty of the 150 NSCS members and bass soloist Bejamin LeClair performed three 20-minute programs under the direction of Dr. Julia Davids with piano accompanist Sharon Peterson.
