The Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra welcomes the Providence Singers to the stage for their 10th joint performance of Handel’s Messiah. Providence Singers Artistic Director Christine Noel takes the podium as guest conductor for this perennial favorite holiday concert. The performance begins at 7 p.m. on Saturday, December 10 at The VETS in Providence.
“This oratorio gave Handel international fame,” said Larry Rachleff, music director of the Rhode Island Philharmonic, “even though the first performance was considered a failure! It wasn’t until Handel conducted it himself five or six years later, as a charity benefit, that Messiah began to be believed.”
