Special Holiday Concert:
Messiah: Part one

Handel’s Messiah is one of the most celebrated religious works in Western music and, astonishingly, was composed in only 24 days. Based on the King James Bible, the work is divided into three parts, the first part covering the birth of Jesus. The Statesboro Chamber Orchestra, along with singers from throughout Bulloch County, will perform the Christmas portion of the Messiah on Friday, December 8, at 7:30 p.m. in the Emma Kelly Theater. The performance will also include a chorus piece from the second portion of Messiah. 

​

This piece by Handel is quite unique since it doesn’t follow any true story like most oratorios, it’s based off of reflections and biblical passages.

This event is free to the public. Concessions may be sold during the performance.
