“Doesn’t Feel Like Work at All”: Retiring Conductor Jon Hurty Leads His Last Messiah, February 22 at Augustana College’s Centennial Hall

The next performance of George Frideric Handel’s Messiah at Augustana College will be extra-special for its conductor and performers, as Jon Hurty – the school’s director of choral activities since 1996 – is retiring at the end of this school year. He will lead the classic oratorio on February 22 at 3 p.m. in Augustana College’s Centennial Hall.
