Maestro James Rawie proudly announces the 19th annual production of HANDEL’s MESSIAH now presented by Tahoe Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus. The series includes performances in five distinct locations. The Reno-Tahoe-Minden and South Lake Tahoe communities continue enjoying this wonderful holiday MESSIAH tradition.

Messiah was first performed in Dublin, Ireland on March 23, 1742 and was conducted by its composer, George Frederic Handel. It continues to be a masterpiece that has left audiences in awe for 278 years. Tahoe Philharmonic’s production is a celebration of the holidays and includes not only favorite selections from Messiah Parts One and Three, but also seasonal carols that the audience will be most welcome to join in singing.

Joining the Tahoe Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus for this production are Anne Davidson and Anna Helwing sopranos; Lorelei vanPeborgh, mezzo; Michael Lloyd, tenor; and Stuart Duke, baritone. TahoePhil Chamber Orchestra features Cliff Richardson as concertmaster; Katie Cardoza and Nick Haines as continuo; and Joe Savage and Ryan Thiele on Baroque trumpets. All performances will be conducted by Maestro James Rawie, TahoePhil’s Founder and Executive Artistic Director.
