This glorious oratorio vividly portrays the story of Israel’s deliverance from bondage in Egypt, and is widely considered to contain Handel’s finest choral music. Presented in partnership with Temple Beth-El in Providence, it was last performed in Rhode Island 16 years ago. We will be joined for this performance by a chamber orchestra made up of musicians from the RI Philharmonic. The engaging text of the piece calls our attention to oppression and injustice that continues today, at home and abroad.
