Overview

Be part of a quintessential holiday tradition!

Heaped with uplifting messages and intimate storytelling, Handel’s Messiah never fails to inspire. While the iconic melodies — including “For Unto Us a Child is Born” and the Hallelujah Chorus — are instantly recognizable, hearing the full oratorio performed live is an unforgettable experience. A stellar cast of soloists and the Chicago Symphony Chorus join Masaaki Suzuki, whose past Messiah performances have been lauded as “bracing and vital” (Washington Classical Review).
