Seattle Symphony: Handel Messiah

• Seattle Symphony Chorale
• Antony Walker, 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.
