**HANDEL** *Messiah*

Handel's *Messiah* by Candlelight brings its radiant choruses, moving arias, and moments of transcendent beauty to DeVos Performance Hall. Featuring the Grand Rapids Symphony Chorus and acclaimed soloists, this monumental oratorio culminates in the electrifying "Hallelujah" Chorus—one of the most iconic moments in all of classical music.
