| November 1998 UM helps organize 'Messiah' The performance of Handel's famous oratorio will begin at 7:30 p.m. It is free, but contributions will be accepted at the door. A fund-raiser for Habitat construction projects in the coming year, the production will feature professional soloists and instrumentalists joined by a choir of more than 100 people of all ages. Visiting Assistant Professor Nancy Cooper organizes the event each year. Conductor will be Dean Peterson, director of choirs at Hellgate High School and the recipient of the 1997 Milken Award for excellence in teaching. New soloists this year include soprano Dawn Douglass and tenor Gary Funk. Joining them on stage will be a 30-player orchestra and returning soloists Esther England, alto, and Stephen Kalm, baritone. The concert is Habitat's major fund-raiser for the year. In the past two years, the concerts raised more than $20,000 to build houses with hard-working Missoula families in need and community volunteers.
