Handel’s Messiah: Performed complete on period instruments

Join for Handel’s Messiah performed complete on period instruments by the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra, the Cathedral Schola, and world-class soloists!

Sure, you’ve heard Handel’s Messiah, but have you heard it in its entirety? Have you heard its original version, premiered in Dublin in 1742? Join The Atlanta Baroque Orchestra & Cathedral of St. Philip Schola for the pleasure of hearing it played on historical gut-strung instruments and natural trumpets, with a Grammy Award winner among the soloists and a choir that will take extra care to nuance the vocal lines according to eighteenth-century performance practices.

ABO Artistic Director Julie Andrijeski and Cathedral Canon for Music Dale Adelmann share leadership as the ABO joins forces with the Cathedral Schola and a magnificent cast of guest soloists to bring you a uniquely moving performance of Handel’s greatest hit.
