Music Worcester Presents: Handel's Messiah
Advertisement
The Worcester Chorus celebrates the season with their annual presentation of this cherished holiday staple, known for the jubilant and dramatic “Hallelujah” chorus. Attending Messiah has become a beloved tradition for many families and choral music fans in the Greater Worcester community and beyond.
This year’s concert features the return of the soloists who were featured in 2025 to high acclaim.
Handel was a star of his era, and wrote music that stands the test of time. Messiah is the story of Jesus Christ, set in three parts (“acts”) that alternate between recitatives, arias, and choruses. What was originally written for Easter has now become a Christmas tradition, as the work tells the story of Christ from birth through death and glory. Ensembles across the world gather to perform this work year after year, whether it’s in full or simply performing the “Hallelujah” chorus.
