Enjoy the University Musical Society's (UMS) presentation of Handel's Messiah in Ann Arbor's Hill Auditorium on Sunday, December 8th at 2:00 pm. 

Handel composed his oratorio Messiah over the course of a single month in 1741, six months before its triumphant premiere at a new concert hall in Dublin. This timeless masterpiece has enraptured audiences for centuries with its sublime beauty and profound spirituality. From the jubilant “Hallelujah” chorus to its stirring arias and evocative chorales, Messiah is brought to life by friends and colleagues from the community through both the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra and the UMS Choral Union. UMSCU music director Scott Hanoian conducts this annual holiday tradition, which features a cast of stellar soloists all making their first UMS appearances.
