Composed in 1741, George Frideric Handel\u2019s powerful oratorio <em>Messiah<\/em> has become a Christmas tradition for classical music enthusiasts. Four notable soloists\u2014soprano Jessica Beebe, alto Timothy Parsons, tenor Brian Giebler and bass Jonathan Woody\u2014along with the Asheville Symphony Chorus will join the orchestra for the performances at the First Baptist Church of Asheville (FBCA).<\/p>\n<p>At press time, plans were in the works between the Asheville Symphony and the FBCA to make the performances into a community outreach event. \u201cAmid the unimaginable challenges our community has faced in the wake of Hurricane Helene, we find ourselves reminded of the resilience and strength that define Asheville,\u201d says Asheville Symphony executive director Daniel Crupi. \u201cThe Asheville Symphony is committed to not only bringing the comfort of music to our neighbors but also contributing to the rebuilding efforts. As we move forward with our performances of <em>Messiah<\/em> in late November, we are exploring ways to partner with First Baptist Church of Asheville to ensure these concerts are not only moments of reflection and hope but also opportunities to support those most affected by this disaster.\u201d Asheville Symphony staff asks that the public check the website for information as plans unfold.<\/p>\n<p>Beethoven named the German-born Handel, who spent much of his life in England, as the greatest composer of all time, saying, \u201c[T]o him I bow the knee.\u201d Until around 1900, <em>Messiah<\/em>, which Handel wrote in only 24 days and which is considered his most famous work, was an Easter tradition, but since the 1960s it has become most associated with the Christmas season.<\/p>\n<p>The four soloists featured in Asheville Symphony\u2019s performances of <em>Messiah<\/em> all bring national and international acclaim to the stage. Beebe, a Philadelphia native, is a member of the GRAMMY-winning ensemble The Crossing as well as Seraphic Fire and Clarion Society, both of which have been nominated for a GRAMMY. Beebe\u2019s repertoire spans four centuries, ranging from Renaissance music to contemporary opera.<\/p>\n<p>A GRAMMY-nominated countertenor and choral conductor, Parsons has performed extensively in venues including Carnegie Hall, London\u2019s St John\u2019s Smith Square and Montreal\u2019s Salle Bourgie. He has twice toured with The English Concert performing Handel oratorios.<\/p>\n<p>Giebler\u2019s debut solo album, <em>A Lad\u2019s Love<\/em>, brought high praise from <em>Gramophone<\/em> and <em>Opera News<\/em>, among other industry publications, and earned him his first GRAMMY Award nomination for Best Classical Solo Vocal Album. He has performed at music festivals and with orchestras throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p>Woody is an accomplished chamber musician and, as a bass-baritone soloist, appears regularly with orchestras including Bach Collegium San Diego, New York Baroque Incorporated and Trinity Baroque Orchestra. In 2021-22, he served as artistic advisor for the Portland Baroque Orchestra, curating a program of 17th-century German music for voices and orchestra.<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn more and purchase tickets at <a href=\"http:\/\/AshevilleSymphony.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AshevilleSymphony.org<\/a> or by phone at 828.254.7046.
