On this show, it's all about The Messiah.
First up, a look at how in the small Canadian town of Parry Sound, Ontario, a community choral society pulled together to mount a complete performace of Handel's masterwork. We go behind the scenes to hear the making of The Messiah - Parry Sound style - from first rehearsal to final curtain.
Plus, a "Living Out Loud" Messiah Quiz. How long did it take Handel to compose The Messiah? What was the hidden agenda behind the libretto? And how did Handel get around the English Church hierarchy who considered "The Messiah" to be verging on blasphemy?
