FLORENCE, Ala. – Ring in the holiday season with the Shoals Symphony Orchestra and a special performance of Handel’s “Messiah.” The famous “Hallelujah” chorus will be so mesmerizing you may even rise out of your seat, just as King George II did at the 1743 London premiere! As the story has it, the King was so entranced by the music that he rose to his feet without thought. The performance is sure to put you in the holiday spirit, and sweep you off your feet!

On Sunday, Dec. 8 at 3 p.m., a mass choir will join the Shoals Symphony Orchestra to present Handel’s masterwork, “Messiah.”

Performing alongside the orchestra will be guest soloists Tiffany Bostic-Brown, soprano; Gretchen Windt, alto; Roderick George, tenor; and Terrance Brown, baritone. Vocalists from UNA Choruses, Florence Camerata and Shoals Chamber Singers will combine to form the mass choir. With the largest orchestra of the season, more than 150 musicians will fill the Norton Auditorium stage.
