The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra invites audiences to embrace the spirit of the holidays with a magnificent evening of sacred and seasonal music. Under the direction of conductor Matthew Kraemer, the orchestra will perform selections from Handel’s Messiah, including the triumphant “Hallelujah” chorus, alongside other beloved works that capture the wonder of the season. The program features the talents of soloists Claire Shackleton (alto), Ivan Griffin (bass-baritone), Jeremiah Tyson (tenor), and Blythe Reed-Banks (soprano), bringing warmth and brilliance to this festive performance.
This year’s concert promises a moving blend of reverence and joy, highlighting Corelli’s Christmas Concerto and Finzi’s In Terra Pax in addition to Handel’s masterpiece. From the first delicate notes to the soaring finale, the performance offers a stirring reminder of the beauty, hope, and unity that define the holiday season. Whether you are a lifelong classical music lover or discovering these works for the first time, this concert offers an unforgettable way to celebrate Christmas through the power of orchestral and choral artistry.
