Handel’s Messiah

Sunday, December 6, 2026 - 2:30pm

Messiah as a Whole New Experience

Geoffrey Boers, conductor

Symphony Tacoma Voices (Geoffrey Boers, director)

Handel changed Messiah every time he performed it. This December, Symphony Tacoma and Symphony Tacoma Voices pick up where he left off, with a fresh, modern telling that will surprise even longtime fans.


The Vibe

Here’s what this concert feels like, who it’s right for, and what to bring with you.


Type of Evening

This concert works well as:

  • A holiday tradition with a twist, whether it’s your first Messiah or your fiftieth
  • A night of storytelling, with four dramatic soloists bringing every word to life
  • A great first symphony experience — no need to know Messiah to love this one
  • A festive Friday night out the week before Christmas

What to Expect

From your seat, you can expect:

  • The Messiah you know, told in a way you’ve never heard
  • Symphony Tacoma Voices singing from every corner of the hall, up close and all around you
  • Soloists Holly Boaz, Myah Paden, Hugh David, and Zachary Lenox
  • Surprises, even if you know every note

Come With

To get the most out of the night, bring:

  • Someone who knows Messiah by heart (and is ready to be surprised)
  • Someone hearing it for the very first time
  • Your holiday spirit
