El Mesías: Handel’s Messiah for a New World

This Spanish-language performance by Cornerstone Chorale features a version created by Mexican musician and librettist Mario Montenegro, giving Handel’s original music a new twist!

The Chorale is joined by the Washington Heights Chamber Orchestra and will feature soloists Maria Brea (soprano), Guadalupe Peraza (mezzo-soprano), Cristóbal Arias (tenor), and Gilberto Gómez (baritone). Music Director Richard Stout conducts.

Support for this project comes from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the New York State Council on the Arts, the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, and from the Medical Center Neighborhood Fund.
