Sylvia is the alto soloist in Handel’s beloved oratorio.
The Christ Church Choir and soloists will perform Handel’s Messiah with members of Tempesta di Mare, Philadelphia’s Baroque Orchestra. Long an annual tradition at Christ Church, this performance marks the first of this monumental work since December 2018. The performance will be historically informed in terms of style and instruments, and we will perform the London version of Messiah, which is the version most frequently performed around the globe. Our soloists are nationally acclaimed Baroque vocalists: Nacole Palmer, soprano; Sylvia Leith, alto; Andrew Brown, tenor; and Edmund Milly; bass. Seats are $50 Reserved / $30 General Admission.
