Handel penned Water Music in 1717 for a party on the River Thames. In 2024, Music of the Baroque performed it on the Chicago River while thousands cheered us on. Find out what the buzz is about! The “Strong Voices” student chorus joins Dame Jane Glover and the ensemble for excerpts from the iconic work, Vivaldi’s Gloria, and more. The evening culminates in “Hallelujah, Chicago,” a community singalong featuring the famous “Hallelujah” Chorus from Messiah. Come help us make the Chicago River sing!
