NDSU Challey School of Music performs 'Messiah'

For the first time since 2015, the North Dakota State University Challey School of Music performed its annual holiday tradition Messiah at St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral in downtown Minneapolis in late 2022. Listen now to that performance for Easter.

The annual performance of Messiah combines NDSU's Concert Choir, Tenor/Bass and Soprano/Alto Choirs, as well as soloists and an orchestra, performing Handel's masterpiece.
