Everyone's invited! Hear the glorious sound of Dartmouth's Gospel Choir with live band when they perform selections from Handel's Messiah, as recorded by visionary music impresario Quincy Jones on his 1992 album Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration. A collaboration with renowned singers and groups, including Al Jarreau, Diane Reeves, Stevie Wonder, The Boys Choir of Harlem and Take 6, the CD features contemporary renditions of movements from Handel's celebrated choral work, with both Old and New Testament text. In this concert, the Gospel Choir sings several soul-stirring arrangements from the recording, including the famed celebratory Hallelujah Chorus. Offering a universal message of faith and hope, the Choir invites you to feel the love and inspiration of the Messiah.
