This statue of George Frideric Handel stands in Halle, Germany. VPR is again rounding up performances and sing-alongs of Handel's "Messiah" taking place in our area during this holiday season.

The season for George Frideric Handel's Messiah is upon us! Although it was actually first performed around Easter, in our time it has become a December holiday tradition.

This year, VPR is again rounding up performances and sing-alongs of Handel's beloved oratio in our area. 

Find the list below, organized by date — and we'll be updating it as we learn of more events.
