Thanks to everyone who participated in the 84th Cedar City Messiah performance. We appreciate all of the orchestra musicians, the chorale, the Heritage Theater staff, and patrons who create this a special experience. We especially thank the Dixie and Anne Leavitt Foundation, State Bank of Southern Utah, and the Leavitt Group for making it possible to have this as a gift to the community.
A couple of responses to the performance:
On Facebook from Alayna Stein: Stunning performance! I especially enjoyed the encore of The Hallelujah Chorus. 
From the patron survey:
Monday night, Dec. 9th I attended the Handel's Messiah's Light of Redemption. First, I would like to thank those who sponsored the event so tickets were free. I just moved into this state, this city doing Christian missionary work and I was so pleased to be able to attend.
Second, the event was so incredibly amazing, it just moved me. I could NOT stop smiling or in tears. I just had to reach out and thank each of you for your hard work to create an amazing performance for such an important element to bring LIGHT into the darkness and share what Jesus did for all humanity. It was one of the most joyous nights to share my love for Jesus. What a way to worship Jesus. Again, thank you so much.
Please thank the Leavitt Group and State Bank for providing the tickets.
I look forward to attending other events.
God Bless each of you. Praise God for His Son Jesus Christ.
Kind Regards,
Debbie Miller-Joseph
