The Detroit rendition of Handel's "Messiah" is a unique jazz-infused version of the holiday classic that this year will return to the Detroit Opera House on Dec. 14 at 7;30 p.m.
"This soul stirring, toe-tapping rendition of Handel's 'Messiah' never fails to bring audiences to their feet," said event organizers. "It's an exhilarating fusion of gospel, jazz and classical music performed by the Rackham Symphony Choir, the Too Hot Orchestra and an all-star cast of soloists. This is a celebration unlike any other."
The performance will feature renowned musicians Rodrick Dixon, Alfreda Burke, Karen Marie Richardson, Marion Hayden, Alvin Waddles and Dave Taylor.
