Messiah is an English-language oratorio composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel was first performed in Dublin on April 13, 1742 and received its London premiere almost a year later. The oratorio gained in popularity over the years, eventually becoming one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music. Performed by our EIU Choirs and a guest high school choir, this is a performance that will be both beautiful and moving.
