Award-winning conductor Edward Polochick has conducted Handel’s Messiah with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra for 25 years. In 2007-2008, for the first time, Mr. Polochick conducts Messiah at the Music Center at Strathmore. Unlike most performances of the iconic choral repertoire, this concert presents the complete Watson Shaw edition with Mr. Polochick conducting the orchestra and choir from the harpsichord, just as Handel did himself. Hailed by the Baltimore Sun as “incisive” with his approach to Messiah “distinctive…some of the most effective interpretive choices,” don’t miss this opportunity to see Mr. Polochick lead a critically acclaimed version of this holiday favorite.

The concert will end at approximately 10:35 pm.
