A Handel Holiday Celebration: Messiah and a Chandos Anthem
Saturday December 21, at 7:30
Grace Church, Amherst

Join us for an all-Handel holiday concert featuring Part 1 of Messiah (the Christmas portion) and Hallelujah from Part 2, as well as the Chandos Anthem My Song Shall be Alway. Handel’s magnificent setting of the Advent Psalm 89 was written for performance at Cannons, a musical establishment presided over by the Duke James Brydges, later known as Lord Chandos. You can enjoy the familiar music from Messiah, and discover some of Handel’s best choral music you may not yet have heard. Andrus Madsen directs.
