Handel's Messiah with The Philadelphia Orchestra
(December 19, 2010)
Messiah, the oratorio that Handel penned in 24 days in the summer of 1741, remains a miracle of musical creation, not just because of the speed with which it was composed but because of its unflagging inspiration and extraordinary durability. This Baroque classic has become as integral to the American holiday season as Dickens's A Christmas Carol or the film It's a Wonderful Life. This winter, join conductor Paul Goodwin and The Philadelphia Orchestra for the 50th consecutive annual performance of Handel's Messiah.
