National Symphony Orchestra: Handel's Messiah

Fri, Dec 18 · 8:00 PM Dekelboum Concert Hall

Hallelujah! You know the chorus, but there’s a universe to discover beyond those famous four minutes. This December, early-music master Richard Egarr makes his NSO debut conducting Handel’s Messiah, the iconic holiday favorite that can be hushed, roaring, and wondrously divine. However you know Messiah—as a yearly tradition, a piece you sang yourself, or music you’ve never heard live—there’s nothing like being in the room when the first notes begin.

Welcome to AskAlice

Hi, I'm Alice.

I go out a lot around DC, Virginia and Maryland, and I got tired of losing hours to Instagram Stories and a dozen venue calendars just to find out what was happening. So I built this to do that watching for me — real, confirmed events pulled from hundreds of sources, sorted so you can find your night instead of hunting for it.
