The Messiah is a powerful piece of music. A good performance is really worth seeing. I've no idea what the Green Bay Symphony's reputation is, though, so I can't provide recommendations on this specific performance.

A friend of mine did Handels Messiah with our university choral society and I missed it, he loved it however and bought it on CD. Maybe I should give it a whirl sometime.

Have you ever been to that Parish? the CHurch is beautiful and huge. The church ladies ther crack me up. ^_^ they are really nice.

As for Messiah, it is a beautiful and powerful piece of Music. Just a warning, it is fairly long.

I've never been to a performance of 'Messiah' but I heard great things about it. I'm going to Mozart's 'Requiem Mass' on Monday. That should be pretty awesome.

Oooh, I'm so jealous, Mozart's Requium is one of my favorites. It has gotten me through finals and multiple papers. Ahhhh, I may have to go put it in right now!

And yes Eddie, go see the Messiah! You won't be disappointed!

my university did Messiah my freshman year, but I was in the entry level choir, so i didn't get to sing it.....we did Hadyn's Creation and Hannegar's King David when I was in the higher choir.
