Featuring some of the stellar musicians who play Handel's Messiah in the Morton Community Chorus and Orchestra!

Today we feature 𝕃𝕚𝕓𝕖𝕣𝕥𝕪 ℂ𝕣𝕒𝕚𝕘.

I am Liberty Craig. My home is in Lexington, IL where I have a deep appreciation for all things beautiful, including music. I’ve played musical instruments for over 13 years and am currently studying violin under Casey Rinkenberger, while starting my own studio. I also play for the Sunshine Strings string quartet, where we share music at various events in the area. Having just graduated from high school, I’m still figuring out what career path God wants me to take. However, I know music will continue to be a big part of my life wherever I go. Two years ago, Mr. Witzig invited me to participate in the orchestra for the Morton Messiah performance, and I’ve loved every moment of it. I am so honored to be a part of this amazing team.
