Honoring the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. through Handel’s classical Messiah, the Auditorium Theatre welcomes back Too Hot to Handel: The Jazz-Gospel Messiah for its 7th year. This year, Too Hot packs that stage with more than 200 musicians, including a few famous Chicago favorites. Saxophonists Jim Gailloreto, Pat Mallinger and Greg Ward team up with Trumpet player Dave Spencer, along with Tracy Kirk and Steve Berry on Trombone to form a powerhouse jazz combo. They are joined by soloists, Alfreda Burke, Rodrick Dixon and Karen Marie Richardson, as well as the city-wide Too Hot choir to create the jazziest Messiah yet.
