MESSIAH
Friday, March 28 @ Hope Lutheran Church, Bozeman
Saturday, March 29 @ Holy Rosary Church, Bozeman
Sunday, March 30 @ St. Paul Lutheran Church, Missoula

The only piece of music from the baroque period performed every year since its creation, Handel’s Messiah was originally written for actors. Hence, we’ll capitalize on the drama, the transformation from dark to light, and the humanistic journey that is a triumph to complete, each and every time.

Roots in the Sky and Baroque Music Montana team up with a period band and top-notch soloists from across the nation to presen the region’s first historically informed presentation of Handel’s enduring masterwork.
