Handel's 'Messiah' at three venues

The Glacier Symphony and Chorale will perform George Frideric Handel’s iconic choral work “Messiah” on Dec. 7-9 at three venues in the Flathead Valley.

Because the oratorio by Handel is over three hours in length, GSC music director John Zoltek will lead the Glacier Chorale and a small baroque size orchestra in a selection of choruses from this inspiring work by Handel. The concert will also include a brief selection of sacred Christmas choral pieces arranged by Chorale Conductor Jim Stanard.

Concert venues include the sanctuary of Blessed Pope John Paul II Catholic Church, in Bigfork, on Friday Dec. 7 at 7:30 p.m., the Whitefish Middle School auditorium on Saturday, Dec. 8, at 7:30 p.m., and the Flathead High School auditorium on Sunday, Dec. 9, at 3 p.m.

Tickets are available in a range of prices. For more information, visit online at www.gscmusic.org or call 257-3241. No free youth tickets will be available for this concert.
