This year's version of our iconic performance of Handel's Messiah will include a new venue (Our Lady of the Valley in Easthampton, a performance space with many resemblances both visual and acoustic, to the beloved St. Mary's in Northampton) and a new conductor. Woodrow Bynum, who has performed with Arcadia on many occasions over the years as both soloist and conductor, will lead this performance with The Cathedral Choir and Men and Boys of Albany.
