The WSO is returning for a three-day performance of Handel’s Messiah after an incredibly successful two-day performance at Knox United Church during the 2023/24 season. David Fallis will be leading the WSO along with the CMU Festival Chorus in presenting the story of the redemption of mankind. This powerful narrative, rich in complex human themes and emotions, can be appreciated by anyone, regardless of belief or creed.
Handel’s Messiah is an oratorio that was written in just three weeks, yet its popularity has withstood the test of time. Whenever orchestras and choirs perform this work during the holidays, halls around the world are sold out. It is, in fact, the only composition of its time that has been continuously performed since its premiere in Dublin in 1742.
