From the awe-inspiring Hallelujah chorus to the many thrilling and intimate arias, Handel’s landmark work is an unforgettable Erie Philharmonic and Philharmonic Chorus holiday tradition, presented in the stunning First Presbyterian Church of the Covenant.
Composed nearly 300 years ago, Handel’s career-defining oratorio remains one of the most popular pieces in the classical canon and an unequaled tribute to the holidays that sets the audience’s pulses racing each year. Experience the magic for yourself this December with this full-scale concert from the Erie Philharmonic, featuring four amazing guest vocalists and the stunning talents of the Erie Philharmonic Chorus.
Despite initially gaining a modest reaction from its premiere in Dublin in 1741, Messiah’s qualities have since been recognized, making it one of the most sought-after and beloved works in Western music. With a scriptural text comprised of extracts from the King James Bible and the Common Book of Prayer, it celebrates the Advent season in high style, filling the church with unparalleled triumph and glory you’ll remember all year round.
