Location: Online
Duke Choir Choir, Soloists, Mallarmé Chamber Players
Since 1933, Duke Chapel has welcomed the Advent season with the sublime music of Messiah. George Frideric Handel's masterwork weaves a musical and scriptural tapestry that tells the story of Christ's life, from birth through death and resurrection. This year, we perform with period instruments and Baroque-era tuning, as Handel himself would have heard it. In consideration of current public health protocols, this year's Messiah will be abbreviated to approximately 90 minutes, including the Christmas portion plus selected movements from Parts II and III. Beginning December 12, an online version of the concert will be available for viewing. To purchase tickets for this virtual performance of Messiah, contact the Duke Box Office at https://tickets.duke.edu or 919-684-4444.
