The Messiah: Community Easter Oratorio

  • The Grand 401 North 4th Street Wausau, WI, 54403 United States (map)

Free to the community, this special concert event features the Wausau Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daniel Larson, and a full choir of local voices performing George Frideric Handel’s exhilarating masterpiece, including the powerful Hallelujah chorus. First performed in 1742, Messiah has, over the ages, become connected most often to Christmas. But Handel originally conceived the work for Easter and its 1742 premiere in Dublin occurred in the spring of that year, during Lent.

Entry is free, but advance ticket reservations are strongly recommended. Tickets may be available at the door. No group/bulk orders over 10 allowed in advance.

This free concert is presented by the Chester L. Suski Arts Fund, and organized by Karla Westcott, Daniel Larson, and William Day.
