L’Esperance Mandolin Ensemble joins with the CCRI chorus and Choro Amante in the first presentation of the Christmas Oratorio of Handel’s Messiah for mandolins. Handel wrote this work for chorus and orchestra in an extraordinary 24 days. In the nearly 300 years since its first performance, it has become one of the most dramatic and well loved pieces in all choral music. A limited number of student tickets $10 online. No student tickets at the door.
