Overview
"A triumph," cheered San Francisco Classical Voice, when Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Chorale gave their first performances in more than a decade of Handel's Messiah last December. The beloved oratorio premiered in 1742 and today is one of the most frequently performed of all musical compositions. Join music director and conductor Nicholas McGegan—one of the world's foremost Handelians—along with the orchestra, guest soloists, and chorus for a memorable performance of this extraordinary 18th-century masterpiece. It's a reason to sing Hallelujah!
