Ring in the holiday season with the triumphant, annual celebration of Handel’s beloved oratorio, “Messiah.” The sounds of reflection, renewal and joy reverberate through the concert hall as the united forces of Pacific Symphony and longtime artistic partner Pacific Chorale showcase the blazing trumpets, percussive power and iconic “Hallelujah!” in Handel’s work. This year, “Handel’s Glorious Messiah” welcomes guest conductor and Pacific Chorale Artistic Director Dr. Robert Istad to the podium to lead the ensemble for an exhilarating night that will leave audiences singing, “Hallelujah!” Guest vocalists Elissa Johnston (soprano), Kate Maroney (mezzo-soprano), Derek Chester (tenor) and Paul Max Tipton (bass-baritone) join the stage as well for this holiday celebration.
