 Moscow International Choir will perform choral pieces from Handel’s “Messiah,” accompanied by an orchestra made up of some of Moscow’s finest musicians. The second half of the program is a mix of traditional and contemporary carols guaranteed to get you into a holiday spirit. The choir was founded over 15 years ago to give amateur singers in Moscow an opportunity to sing together — and get to know each other. The very international group includes Russians, Americans, Dutch, Danish, German, French and British expats, although it is constantly changing as people leave Moscow for other diplomatic or job postings and new singers arrive. In keeping with the mission statement of the choir and the spirit of George Frederic Handel, who held annual charity performances of the Messiah to support London’s Foundling Hospital, all profits from the concerts are donated to Russian charitable organizations. Tickets are best reserved in advance through moscow.international.choir@gmail.com
