Experience the glorious majesty of Handel's Messiah performed by the Grammy Award-winning SF Symphony Chorus and world-class soloists. 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. Jonathan Cohen leads the SF Symphony and Chorus in this perennial favorite.
