Handel’s Messiah: December 14 & 15

Messiah

Handel’s Messiah is a revered institution — in Harmonia’s hands, it’s a party. Dueling harpsichords, vocal theatrics and a maximalist approach to every bar have set Harmonia’s interpretation of this score apart for so many years. You won’t hear a Messiah with such dash and flair anywhere else.

2024–2025 Season: Pinnacles

Join Harmonia as we scale the peaks of the choral and orchestral repertoire, tackling some of the most inspiring, challenging and beloved music written over the last 300 years.

From stone-cold classics (Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra and Beethoven’s seventh symphony) to lesser-known delights (Handel’s Dixit Dominus and Mendelssohn’s Die erste Walpurgisnacht) to the uncontested Everest that is Bach’s Mass in B minor, this is a season that ascends to high altitude and dances at the top of the world.
