Messiah

Experience the timeless power of Handel’s The Messiah—a masterpiece that has inspired audiences for nearly three centuries.

This season, the Salisbury Symphony is honored to present G.F. Handel’s The Messiah, a cornerstone of the choral-orchestral tradition and one of the most enduring masterworks in the history of Western music. Since its easter-time premiere in Dublin in 1742, The Messiah has transcended its time, uniting audiences across centuries with its profound beauty, dramatic power, and spiritual depth. Handel’s inspired score, from its noble overture to the majestic “Hallelujah” chorus culminating in the monumentally inspiring final “Amen” chorus, traces a sweeping narrative of prophecy, sacrifice, and redemption, offering moments of both intimate reflection and exultant triumph.

Our production brings together the Salisbury Symphony with renowned soloists and regional choirs, all in the cherished sanctuary of St. John’s Lutheran Church, inviting all to experience the grandeur and timeless resonance of a work that continues to move and uplift listeners through a tradition shared across the globe. The Messiah carries a legacy of bringing communities together in shared reflection and rejoicing, a custom that endures each time audiences rise in reverence during the triumphant strains of the “Hallelujah” chorus, and the Salisbury Symphony invites you to join and participate in this monumental community celebration.
