Start the Holiday Season with Handel’s beloved Messiah. Peter Leonard will lead a full orchestra and brilliant soloists. Everyone will have the chance to sing along in the Hallelujah Chorus, plus other inspiring choral pieces. (Singing along is optional, of course!)
This monumental oratorio was composed in just 24 days, an astounding feat. Handel survived with little to eat and hardly slept. He is said to have later remarked: “Whether I was in my body or out of my body as I wrote it, I know not. Only God knows.”
We will perform the “Christmas section,” the first part of this beloved work, plus the most famous choral song ever written, the Hallelujah Chorus.
Join us and celebrate in a very special location, a true architectural gem:
