The Department of Music will present a special holiday performance featuring Part I of Handel’s “Messiah” and the Bach “Magnificat in D” on Sunday, Dec. 13, at 2 p.m. in Festival Concert Hall.
Featuring the NDSU Concert Choir and Baroque Festival Orchestra, Handel’s "Messiah," has become a holiday tradition throughout the world with Part I announcing and celebrating the birth of Christ. Johann Sebastian Bach’s "Magnificat in D" is a brilliant work for chorus, orchestra and soloists. Based on Mary’s words from the Gospel of St. Luke, it was first performed on Christmas Day in 1723.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and $5 for students and can be reserved by calling the NDSU Fine Arts Box Office at 1-7969.
