Spokane Symphony Presents Handel’s ‘Messiah’ Outdoors This Holiday Season
The Spokane Symphony is presenting Handel's 'Messiah' for the holidays, with performances taking place outside of the Fox Theater.
Spokane, WA, November 15, 2026 — The Spokane Symphony has announced its annual holiday presentation of George Frideric Handel’s iconic oratorio, ‘Messiah.’ This year, the performances will deviate from the traditional venue and will be held outdoors, taking place outside the historic Fox Theater.
The decision to move the performances outside marks a notable shift for the annual holiday tradition. Handel’s ‘Messiah’ is a staple of the holiday season for many, featuring well-known choruses and arias that have become synonymous with festive celebrations.
The Spokane Symphony’s commitment to bringing this beloved classical work to the community continues with these outdoor performances. Further details regarding specific dates, times, and logistical arrangements for the outdoor setting are expected to be announced.
Typically, the Spokane Symphony performs ‘Messiah’ inside the Fox Theater, its primary performance venue. The change in location for this year’s holiday engagement offers a different experience for patrons and performers alike. The orchestra and choir will present the piece in a setting that allows for adaptation to the winter atmosphere.
Organizers are preparing for the logistical considerations of an outdoor event during the holiday period. The full program and ticketing information will be made available closer to the performance dates.
