Handel: Messiah

Experience the grandeur and tradition of Messiah, Handel’s exultant masterpiece, featuring the Columbus Symphony Chorus. The iconic ‘Hallelujah’ chorus is a highlight of this beloved oratorio.

“Handel’s oratorio Messiah is a timeless classic. The familiar solos and choruses from the Christmas portion lead into the passion of parts two and three that tell the story of crucifixion and resurrection through dramatic choral writing and expressive arias. I’ve been singing Messiah for forty years and I still get excited for each performance.” -Miriam Matteson, Columbus Symphony Chorus, Soprano 2 

This concert is dedicated to the memory of
George L. Smith
