Today’s prize is a CD and DVD of Handel’s Messiah Rocks, a groundbreaking musical event that blends classical music with classic rock in a fresh new interpretation of George Fredrick Handel’s celebrated oratorio.

The Handel’s Messiah Rocks CD features a full orchestra and rock band, choirs and magnetic leads. The album features powerful voices in stage and screen including LaChanze, who won a Tony Award for her role as Celie in The Color Purple, J. Robert Spencer who played Nick Massi in the original Broadway Cast of Jersey Boys and received a Tony nomination for the lead role in Next To Normal, in addition to MiG Ayesa who, among other credits, was a finalist on CBS’ ROCKSTAR: INXS. The DVD also features The Boston Pops conducted by Keith Lockhart featuring additional behind-the-scenes bonus footage and interviews.

Handel’s Messiah Rocks brings a new genre of music to the masses, effortlessly embracing all generations while reinvigorating one of the most beloved musical compositions of all time.

    Omgosh, this would be lovely to have. My mom loved Handel’s Messiah. She passed away in late October and this, well, it would bring tears I’m sure!
