This monumental oratorio was composed in just 24 days, an astounding feat.

Handel survived with little to eat and hardly slept. He is said to have later

remarked: “Whether I was in my body or out of my body as I wrote it, I know not. Only God knows.”

We will perform the “Christmas section,” the first part of this beloved work, plus the most

famous choral song ever written, the Hallelujah Chorus.

Join us and celebrate in a very special location, a true architectural gem:
