The Orchestra of the Bronx is set to present Handel’s “Messiah.”

The performance will be held on Dec. 3, 2025, at the Lovinger Theater at Lehman College and will be free for all.

The orchestra will be led by Michael Spierman and will include 20-plus guest speakers, reading brief passages from the oratorio created by Händel and premiered in Dublin in 1742.

The speakers all have a connection to The Bronx and include judges, college and university presidents, government officials, an honor student, doctors, a hip-hop artist, a server in a local restaurant, a member of the State Assembly, and more.
