Handel’s Messiah
There’s a timelessness in Christmas and the season’s traditions. And at the heart of Christmas is a tale older than time, of a Savior born in a small town Who would change the world.
Within the rich tradition of the season is Handel’s Messiah, a combination of song and Scripture that tells the story of Jesus’ birth, reminding us that the glory of God cam to dwell among men. Enjoy and abridged version of this classical piece featuring choir, soloists, and an ensemble orchestra. Handel’s Messiah will remind you how amazing is God’s gift to us at Christmas.
