Renowned annual performance The New York Times hails as no less than the “gold standard.” Featuring the peerless Trinity Choir and Trinity Baroque Orchestra, this “transcendent and awe-inspiring” Messiah has captivated audiences since it was first presented in 1770. Trinity’s unique, historically informed Messiah is authentically performed on period instruments and sung in baroque style in an acoustically rich space. This year for the first time the oratorio will be split into two parts, with performances at both Christmas and Easter, led by Trinity’s acclaimed Director of Music, Melissa Attebury.
