Additional time info:
Hearers of Handel's Messiah frequently report that they have travelled the entire range of human experience and emotion. And this is quite true: Both tragedy (traditionally understood to denote dramas that end in death), and comedy (those that end in marriage) are found here, and in their full senses. Jesus' suffering and death are portrayed, but so is the promise of the coming marriage between Christ and his Bride, the great congregation of all who discover this great redemption story and embrace it.
The Messiah Project features soprano Olivia Doig Skaff, mezzo-soprano Angela Born, tenor James Ley, baritone Will Hughes, with the Wheaton College Concert Choir and string orchestra, all under the leadership of John William Trotter.
