Handel’s Messiah with the Brooklyn Chamber Orchestra

Date: Sunday, December 22nd, 2024
Time: 4:00PM
Venue: St. Ann’s Church, 157 Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights

The Grace Chorale of Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Chamber Orchestra will be collaborating to bring the timeless grandeur of Handel’s Messiah to Brooklyn. Under the baton of Maestro Philip Nuzzo, and featuring the exquisite soprano Evangeline Ng, both ensembles will deliver a powerful performance of Handel’s beloved masterpiece.

Messiah, composed in just 24 days in 1741 by George Frideric Handel, is a true classic oratorio; it premiered in Dublin, Ireland as a charitable performance for prisoners’ debt relief. With lyrics in English that librettist Charles Jennens pulled from the King James Bible, Messiah tells the story of Christ’s birth, death, and resurrection. As fitting for the holiday season, the program will include Part 1 of Messiah, which tells the Christmas story. The concert will conclude with the Hallelujah Chorus.
