Artistic Director Joshua Rohde speaks to RICCO’s commitment to presenting the entire Messiah — a rare experience in today’s musical landscape. “Many performances only present the Christmas portion and the Hallelujah Chorus, which are of course well-loved. In performing the entire work, we’re able to deliver a more complete and profound musical journey,” Rohde said. “There’s so much depth and emotional power in the lesser-known movements, especially in Part Two, which tackles real, heartfelt emotions that resonate with audiences in a very relatable way.”

“Our mission as The Rhode Island Civic Chorale is to bring high-quality music to all corners of the state.”
