One of Chicago’s greatest holiday traditions, audiences flock to hear the thrilling renditions of Händel’s Messiah by the Apollo Chorus. This year we’re proud to announce a quartet of internationally-acclaimed soloists, including soprano Hannah De Priest, countertenor Ryan Belongie, tenor Ryan Townsend Strand, and baritone Bill McMurray.
Two chances to see this show:
This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
To keep our community safe, the following COVID-19 measures will be in place:

Chicago theatres will present a wide variety of festive plays, musicals, dance, and comedy offerings this Holiday season. In support, the League of Chicago Theatres will create a comprehensive Holiday Theatre Guide that will be available for distribution in mid-November.
The Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater for Music and Dance will present Emancipation by Adrian Dunn with the The Adrian Dunn Singers and Rize Orchestra on the HTP Mainstage on Friday, April 29, 2022 at 7:30PM.
Principal Guest Conductor Nicholas Kraemer takes the podium in November for Thanksgiving performances of Handel's Messiah, the first by the group in over a decade and the Music of the Baroque Chorus's first regular season appearance since December 2019. Andrew Megill, conductor of the Montreal Symphony Chorus and the Carmel Bach Festival Chorale, will lead the annual Holiday Brass & Choral Concerts in December.
Music of the Baroque today announced that due to the current pandemic, the difficulty for travel for international conductors and soloists, and the need to maintain safety for musicians and audience, the repertoire for the 2020-21 season-the ensemble's 50th-will be revised.
