The Messiah Choral Society of Grand Junction (MCSGJ) was founded in 2004 to present an annual performance of Handel’s classic oratorio, Messiah. The concerts are offered as a musical gift to the Grand Valley community by the members of the Messiah Choral Society and its donors. Admission to all our concerts is free of charge.

Messiah is widely regarded as a musical masterpiece. Written in 1741 it has stood the test of time being performed throughout the world. In addition to its musical excellence, Messiah tells the story of Christ in which many find spiritual renewal.
Admission to all our concerts is free so invite your family and friends to come with you for a concert of beautiful music and spiritual renewal.

The concerts are a musical gift to the Grand Valley community made possible by the volunteer hours of our chorus, the lifelong commitment to making music by our orchestra, soloists, and director, the generous financial contributions of our donors, and our audience as no gift has meaning without a recipient.
