"The Art to Heart Messiah". Handel's Messiah—like you’ve never experienced it before!

This extraordinary multimedia presentation blends the beloved music of the “Christmas” portion of Handel’s Messiah with more than 170 breathtaking works of art spanning the 15th through 20th centuries. Inspiring commentary weaves the music and art together, offering a fresh, deeper encounter with this timeless masterpiece. This is far more than an “illustrated Messiah.” It is a powerful experience that brings sound and sight into harmony—allowing both to illuminate the story of Christ in ways that words alone cannot.
