A holiday classic, Handel’s Messiah is a highlight for many during the festive season, and this year is conducted by a returning member of the NACO family. The program is led by Trevor Pinnock, harpsichordist and principal NACO conductor from 1991–1996, whose affinity for Messiah is clear and makes the experience extra special. The performance also includes two favourite Ottawa vocal ensembles: the Cantata Singers of Ottawa and Capital Chamber Choir.
