Handel’s Messiah

Artists

Leon Botstein conductor

Vocal soloists from the Bard Conservatory Graduate Vocal Arts Program
Bard Festival Chorale
Bard College Chamber Singers
James Bagwell choral director

Part of TŌN’s Fisher Center concert series

Bard’s musical forces combine for a holiday season classic as Leon Botstein leads The Orchestra Now, soloists from the Bard Conservatory Graduate Vocal Arts Program, the Bard Festival Chorale, and the Bard College Chamber Singers in a performance of one of the most popular oratorios of all time.

These performances of Handel’s Messiah are dedicated to the memory of Margarita Kuchma (2000–2021), a gifted and deeply engaged artist enrolled in the Master’s Degree program in Human Rights and the Arts at Bard. She will be missed by all who had the privilege to know her.
