The Messiah was written in 1741 and was first performed in Dublin, Ireland in 1742. Since then it has become one of the most performed oratorios, particularly during the holidays of Christmas and Easter.
The Danbury Concert Chorus will be performing the piece along with a baroque chamber orchestra comprised of members from the Danbury Symphony Orchestra. This choral group has been delighting audiences with the performance of the Messiah since 1958. All soloists are distinguished professional singers. Don’t miss this year’s MESSIAH in Danbury!
