Hailstorms. Locusts. A parting sea. Handel’s epic oratorio — complete with choir and vocal soloists — tells the biblical story of Moses leading the Israelites from bondage. Jeannette Sorrell conducts her own adaptation that brings the story’s drama to the fore.

The NY Phil is joined by the Handel and Haydn Society Chorus, a stunning cast of soloists, and Baroque specialist Fabio Biondi as he conducts this holiday favorite — the Messiah of all Messiahs. Handel’s writing for the human voice reaches dizzying heights of expression, buoyed by iconic melodies from the Orchestra.
