Johnstown Symphony Orchestra Presents Handel's "Messiah"

Kick off the holiday season by experiencing Handel's glorious Messiah performed by the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Maestro James Blachley. This performance will also feature world-renowned soloists Kathryn Mueller (soprano), Meg Bragle (alto), Oliver Mercer (tenor), and John Brancy (bass). Adding to the excitement will be choirs from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, under the direction of Ryan Beeken, and the Johnstown Symphony Chorus.

In 1741, this oratorio was composed by the German composer George Frideric Handel, with a scriptural text compiled by Charles Jennens from the King James Bible, and from the version of the Psalms included with the Book of Common Prayer. Originally composed for Easter, Handel's Messiah had its premiere in Dublin on the stage of Musick Hall on April 13, 1742, and received its London premiere nearly a year later. Handel's Messiah remains his best-known work, with its famous “Hallelujah Chorus” performed by choirs all over the world.
