- Get into the Christmas spirit by hearing highlights of Messiah live, Corelli’s Christmas Concerto, Bach’s joyous Brandenburg No. 3 and Handel’s masterful Water Music
- This is the first time that José Luis Gomez is conducting the pulse pounding, earth shaking Messiah with the TSO and TSO Chorus – what a treat!
- Corelli’s concerto bears the inscription “Fatto per la notte di Natale” (made for the night of Christmas)
- The Brandenburg No. 3 is a kaleidoscope of dancing colors and shades
