Michigan Ave. Chicago, and at 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 20, at at Harris Theater for Music & Dance, 205 E. Randolph Drive, Chicago.

Handel’s “Messiah” has been performed by The Apollo Chorus nearly every December since 1879. Few works today are as celebrated or beloved as Handel’s Messiah, and this annual performance has become a holiday tradition for many Chicago families.

This year’s talented soloists include Elisabeth Marshall as soprano, J’nai Bridges as mezzo-soprano, Samuel Levine as tenor, and David Govertsen as baritone. These extremely talented and accomplished soloists have performed with some of the premiere orchestras around the world and hold residencies with some of the most distinguished arts organizations.
