The Joan presents Morning Melodies 2026
A Christmas tradition returns with Handel’s much-loved Messiah. Featuring the famous Hallelujah Chorus, it is a work equal parts rousing, contemplative and beautiful.
Famed for his operas in the Italian style, Handel turned to the oratorio as fashion and audience taste shifted. Messiah is his best-known work in the genre, a fixture on the concert stage ever since its premiere in 1742.
Handel’s ability to convey complex emotions through his music creates a timeless work of art, Its blend of lyrical beauty and dramatic intensity ensuring its position as a cornerstone of Baroque repertoire.
