Handel's Messiah is one of the monumental achievements of western civilization-a work of art that is ever sonorous, sacred, uplifting, sublime and timeless. There are many versions of Messiah. This unique performance features Mozart's 1789 arrangement where Handel's melodies are lovingly enriched by Mozart's nuanced color of woodwinds and horns. The setting not only provides an intriguing insight into one genius's homage to another's enduring masterpiece but, as the original reviewer of the Mozart version wrote, provides " . . . a new and unparalleled accompaniment, one that Handel himself would have wanted . . . " that makes the oratorio even more " . . . . highly enjoyable for any kind of audience."
Experience one of the greatest masterworks of all time, sung in English by over 100 voices in one of the Eastside's premiere settings just a few blocks north of downtown Bellevue.
