Messiah springs to life in both languages, this beloved oratorio continues to relish the holiday tradition. The run opens with a special performance marking the release of BCSD's El Mesías Spanish-language recording.

There is a long-standing myth that King George II was so touched by the “Hallelujah” chorus that he rose to his feet, with the crowd following suit. Audiences today routinely stand during the “Hallelujah” chorus, as a tip of the hat to this legend.

The ensemble was founded in 2003 by Artistic Director Ruben Valenzuela to diversify the musical offerings of the San Diego community.
