From plagues and pyramids to the crossing of the Red Sea, the gripping story of the Israelites’ escape from Egypt comes to life with reverence and triumph through Handel’s sumptuous music, in a new adaptation by Apollo's Fire Artistic Director Jeannette Sorrell. Vocal soloists Ross Hauk and Jeffrey Strauss spoke with WCLV's Bill O'Connell to give us a preview.
