Handel’s Messiah: The BCAE and Handel + Haydn Take You Behind the Music

BOSTON - Nov. 5, 2015 - PRLog -- George Frideric Handel’s Messiah is one of the world’s most famous works of classical music and its Hallelujah Chorus has become synonymous with the Christmas season. On Wednesday, November 18th, 2015, The Boston Center for Adult Education (BCAE) is giving students the opportunity to go behind the music with an exclusive class led by Handel + Haydn Society.
