About the Concert
Handel's Messiah is an uplifting and joyful musical rite of the holiday season, capped off with the wondrous 'Hallelujah' chorus. Francesco brings his dramatic, acclaimed interpretation - directing the soloists, chorus, and orchestra while performing from the harpsichord.
Please note: There will not be an open Discovery Series rehearsal for this concert.
