HOW TO EXPERIENCE MESSIAH 

The live concerts by the Choir and Orchestra have been cancelled due to COVID-19. However, the 2018 Messiah concert will be re-aired so you can still experience Messiah through the Internet Stream, and On-Air and On-Demand Viewing.

Internet Stream

The previously-recorded 2018 Messiah performance by the Choir and Orchestra with world-class soloists will be streamed over the internet. This will permit performances of this beloved oratorio—an Easter tradition for many—to be available in homes.

The 2018 Messiah will be streamed over the internet on Good Friday, April 10 at 7:00 p.m. MDT from the many options below. Plan your own Messiah sing-along in your own home or enjoy playing the performance on-demand on Easter Sunday.

Live Concert Cancelled

The live event scheduled in the Tabernacle on Friday and Saturday, April 10-11 was cancelled to follow direction provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to postpone large public gatherings in areas challenged by the COVID-19 virus.
