This past weekend I conducted selections from Handel's Messiah at my parents' church in my hometown. This was the church that I grew up in, was confirmed in, where I got my start as an accompanist, learned to play handbells in, and sang in the choirs. My mom and step-dad are still members there, as is my grandma. In the late 70s my dad was the choir director there. (For more visit http://www.andreistrizek.com)
