Tafelmusik presents Handel Messiah

Sold out in 2024!

There is a reason why Tafelmusik returns to Handel’s Messiah each year to celebrate the festive season! Written in just 24 days, this uplifting oratorio surges with emotion, drama, and poignancy. With its message of charity, peace, and goodwill, Messiah reminds us of our common humanity, transcending cultural, geographic, and religious boundaries.

Presented at Koerner Hall in the style and spirit of the composer’s own productions, Tafelmusik’s performances are directed annually by Ivars Taurins, Canada’s “Prince of Messiah” (Toronto Star).

“In the famously wonderful Koerner acoustics, the Tafelmusik forces sounded fabulous, with a sound that’s smooth as silk that rivals the great church acoustics. Ivars Taurins’ conducting is highly nuanced and well judged. Watching his conducting is positively mesmerizing” (Ludwig van Toronto).

Our sensational cast of Messiah soloists includes Canadian soprano Stefanie True, mezzo-soprano Krisztina Szabó, British tenor Nicholas Scott, and American bass-baritone Jonathan Woody.
