A musical rite of the holiday season, this Baroque-era oratorio still awes listeners more than 250 years after the composer's death. Concord's performance, conducted by Benjamin Greene, will include professional soloists and a community chorus.

The Messiah will be performed at St, Paul's Church, 22 Centre Street, Concord, NH. The main entrance is the set of red doors on Park Street across from the NH State House. The elevator is on the Main Street side of the building.
