It isn't Christmas in Athens until the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Chorus perform Handel's Messiah at Hodgson Concert Hall. The ensembles return December 18th with the joyous Christmas portion of the epic work.
Before "Messiah," ASO chorusmaster Norman Mackenzie conducts Mozart's resplendent "Coronation" Mass. It's a celebratory piece that is believed to have been performed at various coronations in the decades after its composition in 1779.
