International Symphony Orchestra - Celestial Sounds of the Season

What's become an annual tradition, the International Symphony Orchestra teamed up with their partner organization, the International Symphony Singers for the performance of Handel's "Messiah".

Also on the program were two short anthems for chorus and orchestra, an arrangement of "Angels from the Realms of Glory" by our own Charlie Stephens and the "Oratorio de Noel" by Saint-Saens. If you aren't familiar with this last piece, I highly recommend finding a recording. It is simply gorgeous.
