George Frideric Handel's Utrecht Te Deum
Handel’s stirring Baroque masterwork Utrecht Te Deum will be presented by Westminster’s Sanctuary Choir with guest soloists and Baroque chamber ensemble during Vespers on Sunday, November 9, at 4p. Composed to celebrate peace after years of war, Handel’s jubilant work resounds with triumphant choruses, radiant solos, and orchestral brilliance in a musical setting of one of the earliest liturgical texts in the Christian tradition that offers a message of gratitude and hope as relevant today as it was when it premiered in 1713.
Whether you are a longtime lover of Baroque music or new to Handel’s genius, this service will be sure to lift your spirit as we move into the seasons of Thanksgiving and Advent. There is no admission fee, so make plans to join us for this uplifting service. And bring friends!
