Seraphic Fire's performances of "Messiah" have become a holiday tradition for many, a tradition we are thrilled to have ringing through the Au-Rene Theater for the holidays. And before the concert, join Lyn for a preview that includes reflections on the history of Handel's "Messiah" (there is no "The" in the title!) and thoughts on original performance practice and how it relates to this stunning masterwork. This Broward Center preview is at 7 in the Porter Riverview Ballroom, and the concert is at 8 in the Au-Rene Theater.
