Messiah in Mebane

Mebane Community Choir

The Mebane Community Choir will present the Christmas portions of George Frideric Handel’s master oratorio, Messiah, performed by a non-denominational, interfaith community chorus. Messiah in Mebane is a tradition that extends midway back into the previous century, when the late Dr. George Bullard organized the first community performance in 1951; these continued annually into the 1970s. This year will be the 43rd presentation and the 21st consecutive performance since Messiah in Mebane's revival in 1991.
