Most of us associate Handel’s Messiah with Christmas, or perhaps with Advent, the season of preparation for Christmas. I make it a habit to listen to the entire Messiah during Advent to prepare myself for a deeper celebration of Christmas.

I am honored to be returning to perform with the Richmond Symphony again this year. My new album Christmas with Marco Panuccio will have its official release at this evening’s performance. I will be signing CD’s in the lobby following the performance. Please join me.
