Wheaton College Concert Choir and Chamber Orchestra presents Handel's Messiah.

This groundbreaking production from the Wheaton College Concert Choir reimagines Handel’s beloved Messiah under the direction of John William Trotter. Sung entirely from memory, the work’s movement, dramatic tableaux, and moments of dance bring Handel’s masterpiece to life with fresh vitality and immediacy. Interwoven with spoken-word reflections, the performance connects ancient texts with contemporary questions, inviting audiences to a fresh encounter with the gospel story.  More than a concert, Messiah Project 2026  is an immersive experience of music, story, and transformation.
