Handel’s Messiah

Kennedy Center

Join the NY Phil holiday tradition, the Messiah of Messiahs! Dazzling vocal solos, instrumental fireworks, and splendid choral writing combine to make this oratorio the musical crown of the season. Baroque specialist Masaaki Suzuki conducts.

Handel's Messiah

Lincoln Center

The San Francisco Symphony writes: George Frideric Handel’s Messiah was an instant classic soon after its 1742 premiere and has been a holiday tradition around the world ever since. Through a dramatic series of arias, recitatives, and choruses, Handel offers a musical meditation on Christ’s birth, life, and resurrection—and his message of redemption. Masaaki Suzuki leads the SF Symphony and Chorus in this perennial favorite. 

Davies Symphony Hall

Some pieces never lose their lustre, and Handel’s Messiah is no exception. After the resounding success of last year’s performance, Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the OM are back to perform this musical gem in the majestic Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal.
