MESSIAH, An Oratorio    
G.F. Handel
THE VERMONT CHORAL UNION
Eric J. Milnes, Director
featuring
Les Harmonie des Saisons Baroque Ensemble

The Vermont Choral Union, directed by Eric Milnes, is set to enthrall audiences with their performance of George Frideric Handel's timeless sacred oratorio, MESSIAH,  for three performances, Saturday December 7th and Sunday December 8th. 

The Choral Union partners with Montréal's two-time Juno Award-winning baroque Ensemble L'Harmonie des saisons in three remarkable performances, bringing the magnificent sacred work alive with period 18th century instruments, offering audiences the opportunity to experience it as it was conceived by Handel and heard in the 18th century.

The first performance will be held on Saturday, December 7, 2024 at Holy Angels Church  at 245 Lake Street, St Albans, VT. The second two performances will be held on Sunday, December 8, 2024, one at 4:00pm and again at 7:30pm at Cathedral Church of St Paul, 2 Cherry Street, Burlington, VT.  Tickets available at VtChoralUnion.org and on Seven Days.  

Holy Angels Church in St Albans and Cathedral Church of St Paul in Burlington offer the perfect venues and acoustics to enjoy this extraordinary performance "up close and personal".  Hope you can join us at one of these three performances.

"The profound beauty of this masterpiece, combined with the exceptional talent of our performers, promises an experience that will resonate in hearts and minds long after the final note has been sung."  
-  Eric Milnes, Music Director of The Vermont Choral Union
