Messiah Performance History
Handel's Messiah is a staple of The Masterwork Chorus's repertoire, performed every year since 1957. Venues have included two of New York City's finest spaces; the storied Perelman Stage in the Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall. The group has also performed Messiah at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC and in several prestigious locations throughout New Jersey.
