Brooklyn’s premiere professional orchestra, the Brooklyn Chamber Orchestra is set to celebrate the holiday season with three festive performances across two historic Brooklyn churches.

In a statement, Philip Nuzzo, Artistic Director of Brooklyn Chamber Orchestra said, “There’s a special energy in Brooklyn at this time of year. These concerts let us reflect on a season filled with music and connection, and they reaffirm something we feel every day — that classical music is thriving here, and that our community is eager to share in it. It’s a joyful way to mark the holidays and close the year together.”

The orchestra begins with Händel’s “Messiah” performed with the Grace Chorale of Brooklyn and acclaimed mezzo-soprano Melody Wilson.

Performance Dates: Dec. 13 at Old First Reformed Church in Park Slope & Dec. 14 at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity in Brooklyn Heights

The season concludes with “A Very Merry Brooklyn.” The evening will feature the New York Choral Society.

Performance Date: Dec. 21 at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity
