A MINUTE WITH THE MAESTRO!
Hear the Music Director tell you about this concert!
Grant selected Mozart’s magical re-orchestration of Handel’s beloved Messiah for our classic holiday offering this season. Mozart added instruments normally used in a late 18th century symphony -- French horns, flutes, clarinets -- and expanded the strings, giving them a greater role and the popular oratorio a fuller sound. This symphonic and sensuous arrangement demands every member of the Chorale in this full-length Messiah -- a feast for the musical palate. This year, you can sit back and bask in the glorious sound of our great chorus as it performs this traditional favorite.
It’s like Messiah meets The Magic Flute! Imagine Handel’s towering masterpiece with Mozart’s inventive orchestral flourishes and the incomparable sound of the Master Chorale in Disney Hall! Grant Gershon
