Majestic ‘Messiah’ Inspirational
December 8, 2011George Frederick Handel’s masterwork, The Messiah, has been a part of the holiday season for as long as any of us can remember. I had the honor of performing this great work, under the direction of Christopher Shepard, at the gorgeous Worcester’s Mechanics Hall.
