Handel's Messiah

Since 1933, Duke University Chapel has welcomed the holiday season with the sublime music of Messiah. From the haunting strains of "The people that walked in darkness" to the exuberant triumph of "Hallelujah" and "Worthy is the Lamb," George Frideric Handel's masterwork weaves a musical tapestry that recounts the story of Christ's life, from birth through death and resurrection.

This year's Messiah performances will be presented on period instruments with Baroque-era tuning. Each performance will include selections from Parts I, II, and III, and will last approximately two hours and fifteen minutes with intermission.

Tickets will be sold through the Duke Box Office.
