December 16, 7:30 pm | Meany Hall
What happens when artists/activists from wildly different backgrounds and musical worlds unite around the fight for racial justice? And what if they link their original songs together by sampling and quoting a piece of classical music that鈥檚 almost 300 years old? Riffing on Handel鈥檚 masterpiece, Messiah, these musicians transform an ancient tale of a savior into an urgent call to action. The way the musicians frame it, anyone can be the Many Messiahs who build a better world together, starting now.
