Seattle Symphony: Handel Messiah

• Nicole Cabell, soprano
• Sara Couden, contralto
• Steven Soph, tenor
• Sofi Jeannin, guest conductor

A triumph of music and text, Handel’s Messiah is a matchless December tradition. The exquisite choral writing and the exultant "Hallelujah" chorus — featuring the Seattle Symphony, Chorale, and a strong cast of soloists — honor Handel's greatest work.
