The Christmas season is filled with music, but none exemplifies the season as much as the Christmas part of Handel’s Messiah, including the Hallelujah Chorus. It’s become a tradition to attend a performance of The Messiah (or at least part of The Messiah) in the winter.
We are focusing on the “free and cheap events” here, but please do check out North Carolina Symphony for a wonderful, and much anticipated performances on December 5, 6 and 7, 2025, at Meymandi Concert Hall in Raleigh.
