Handel's Messiah

The most enduring, beloved oratorio of all time, Handel’s Messiah is both familiar and ever fresh. In Handel’s lifetime, Messiah was so popular that he created numerous versions of the arias and choruses to achieve the finest performances from the artists who sang in his concerts. Today, with so many variations to choose from, every performance of Messiah is a unique experience molded by the selections of the conductor.

Often, audiences have only heard the Christmas portion and the “Hallelujah Chorus,” but there is so much more to this Masterwork! The story continues through life, suffering, triumph and redemption – all organized into distinct and dramatic scenes.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear the complete work – every note!

The Eugene Concert Choir was formed 50 years ago to perform Handel’s Messiah. It is fitting to present the grandeur of this beloved masterwork in its entirety.
