Savor the chance to hear Handel's Messiah on the site where the epic oratorio received its New World premiere. Trinity Church has hosted a performance of this choral masterwork nearly every year since 1770, and both the building and the composition continue to age with grace. This season's performances feature the expert musicians of the Rebel Baroque Orchestra performing on period instruments, and, of course, the award-winning Trinity Choir, whose voices carry Handel's fervent praise to the historic rafters.
