Minot's Annual Messiah Performance
The presentation in Minot of George F. Handel’s “Messiah,” considered one of the greatest choral works of all time, brings together local musical groups and individual community singers. 🎶 FREE ADMISSION! 🤩
According to The Minot Daily News files, the late E.S. Person, an early Minot resident, was instrumental in starting a production of “The Messiah” with the Minot Choral Club in 1908. The annual performance was held for about 20 years at the Jacobson Opera House, once located on Central Avenue and Main Street. The first presentation of “The Messiah” at present-day Minot State University was given on a Thursday evening, Dec. 19, 1929, by the 140-voice combined men’s and ladies’ glee clubs.
