Handel: Messiah (Mozart Orchestration)
Mozart’s orchestration of Handel’s Messiah offers a new way of presenting this masterpiece. The reimagining of the oratorio allows for an expansion of sounds through additional instruments. In collaboration with the CSO Chorus, the brass section amplifies the triumphant energy of the Hallelujah Chorus, elevating its grandeur to new levels.
Enjoy a free pre-concert talk at 6:30PM on Friday and Saturday, and 2:00PM on Sunday, that dives into the music you’ll hear that evening! There is no assigned seating during the pre-concert talks.
The Columbus Symphony is collecting non-perishable food items for the Mid-Ohio Food Collective. Donations can be brought to Symphony Staff at the front of the theatre.
