SAN ANTONIO MASTERSINGERS Present Handel's Messiah
A holiday must-see concert returns to San Antonio audiences as the San Antonio Mastersingers presents George Frideric Handel’s iconic and beloved baroque oratorio, Messiah, on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 4 p.m. in the beautiful sanctuary of University Methodist Church.
Mastersingers’ music director, Dr. Yoojin Muhn, conducts this performance of the masterwork’s Christmas selections along with the triumphant Hallelujah chorus, the majestic Worthy is the Lamb that was Slain and the final fugue Amen. The chorus will be accompanied by musicians of the San Antonio Philharmonic.
In addition to officially opening the Holiday Season, the Mastersingers are also celebrating the chorus’ 80th Anniversary, remembering an eight-decade history of more than 500 exciting and masterful performances in front of half a million friends and fans.
Soloists joining the Mastersingers and Philharmonic musicians are Lydia Beasley, Soprano; Crystal Jarrell Johnson, Mezzo-soprano; Seth Lafler, Tenor; and Chia-Wei Lee, Bass-baritone.
“We are thrilled to again share in the joy of the Messiah concert, a tradition treasured for years by so many friends and families. It is the official opening of the Holiday Season in the San Antonio area,” Dr. Muhn explains. “Collaborating with the musicians of the San Antonio Philharmonic and fabulous soloists elevates the excitement, promising a harmonious blend of tradition and musical brilliance that will resonate with our audience. In a world that is troubled and often confusing and distressing for many, we believe the words and music of this glorious work bring hope, peace and inspiration.” Dr. Yoojin Muhn also serves as director of Choral Activities for the University of Texas at San Antonio.
