Handel Messiah

About this performance

Conductor Chad Kelly leads the MSO and Chorus plus an all-star lineup of soloists in Handel’s greatest oratorio celebration, Messiah.

Composed in 1741, the work is still as potent as it was more than 280 years ago, inspiring joy and wonder from both first-time listeners and those that return every year.

Duration: approx. 2 hours and 40 minutes including interval
