Victoria Symphony presents Messiah by Candlelight

Giuseppe Pietraroia, conductor; Sarah Dufresne, soprano; Georgia Burashko, mezzo-soprano; James Reese, tenor; Sumner Thompson, baritone; Victoria Choral Society; Brian Wismath, conductor; Christ Church Cathedral Young Choristers. Program: Handel: Messiah. “Hallelujah!” In 1741, Handel composed his great oratorio Messiah in just three weeks, and its message of hope and redemption has echoed ever since. Victoria’s magnificent Christ Church Cathedral glows with candlelight as the Victoria Symphony, local choirs, and four outstanding soloists bring this timeless story to life—a tradition that has sold out two years in a row.
