Holiday Classical Music Club: Handel’s “Messiah”
Led by Chris Lydgate
Thanks to a risky bet, a dose of desperation, and a series of remarkable accidents, Handel composed the spectacular epic we call Messiah. And music was never quite the same again.

“Transformative. I adore these book clubs. Christopher’s passion and insight have left me near-delirious with an excitement and optimism I’ve carried into all my reading and writing.”
— Maria Semple
Book clubs in search of the meaning of life.
In the Moby Dick club we found aliveness and humor in a book that predicted the future.
In the Beloved club, we talked about motherhood and power.
In the To the Lighthouse club, we we watched Woolf bring the dead back to life.
In the Giovanni’s Room club, we considered James Baldwin’s second novel as a critique of oblivious and self-absorbed whiteness.
