George Frideric Handel: Messiah
Handel’s Messiah is a magnificent, electrifying masterpiece, and a highlight of the Christmas season for millions around the world every year. We’re thrilled to welcome esteemed guest conductor Ivars Taurins, a specialist in Baroque choral works who is beloved for his charismatic, uplifting interpretation of this holiday favourite. Together with four guest vocal soloists and the 80-voice Symphony Nova Scotia Chorus, Taurins and the Symphony proudly present Handel’s glorious creation.
