Heralding the Christmas season, Camerata Chicago and Camerata Chicago Chorus will feature Part I of George Frideric Handel’s "Messiah," HWV 56 — traditionally known as the Christmas section — followed by the jubilant “Hallelujah” chorus from Part II, sung first by the chorus and repeated as an audience sing-along.
The concert, led by founder and music director Drostan Hall, opens with Handel’s celebratory “Zadok the Priest,” HWV 258, for orchestra and chorus, an anthem written for the coronation of England’s King George II. The text is derived from the biblical account of the anointing of King Solomon by Zadok and the public’s rejoicing.
The piece opens with a long suspenseful build-up leading to the chorus’s glorious entry.
Hall sees a spiritual connection between these works. “’Zadok’ is about the anointment of an earthly king, recognized by God and the Church,” he says. “‘Messiah’ is about the arrival of the heavenly king.”
Soloists are countertenor Key'mon Murrah, mezzo-soprano Camille Robles, tenor Daniel Luis Espinal, and bass-baritone Laureano Quant.

Bach in the City rings in the New Year with three of the six distinct feast-day cantatas that constitute Johann Sebastian Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, BWV 248. The period-instrument ensemble will perform Parts I, V and VI, celebrating Christmas Day, the Sunday after New Year’s, and Epiphany.

Jason Moy, Bach in the City's co-music director, says, “From festive trumpets and resounding timpani heralding the birth of the Christ child to moving and contemplative chorales for chorus, Bach’s sacred masterpiece depicts the familiar Christmas story in dramatic fashion.” 
Part 1 is celebratory and regal, with the choir exclaiming, “Jauchzet, frohlocket!” (Shout for joy!). Part V, with lush, expressive melodies, depicts the long journey of the three Wise Men. The triumphant and majestic Part VI represents The Adoration of the Magi, ending with a thrilling finale with trumpet melodies woven over the top of a powerful final chorale.
Soloists are Hannah De Priest, soprano; Ryan Belongie, countertenor; Gene Stenger, tenor; and Paul Max Tipton, bass.
Guest concertmaster is violinist Adriane Post, leader of the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra and founding member of the ACRONYM Ensemble and Diderot String Quartet.
Richard Webster conducts the Bach in the City Chorus and Orchestra.This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council.Tickets and information
Single tickets are $45 for VIP admission, which includes reserved seating; $30 adult general admission; $25 seniors 65 and older; and free for students with valid ID.
