THE MESSIAH PROJECT

Description

Handel’s Messiah is a masterpiece of classical music that has stood the test of time, and is beloved by music lovers the world over.

The Concert Choir will be joined by distinguished guest soloists--soprano Olivia Doig Skaff, mezzo-soprano Angela Born, tenor James Ley & baritone Will Hughes, all accompanied by string orchestra. Tickets are going fast, so don't miss your opportunity to hear this innovative performance of an iconic work. The Messiah Project is on Saturday, March 23, 2024, 7:30 PM, in Armerding Concert Hall.
