The sold out sensation returns! A stripped-down, surround-sound, electro-improv Messiah for today's Toronto.

Is it possible to become re-sensitized to this ubiquitous musical masterpiece by taking it apart and putting it back together again? Stripping Handel’s music back down to its barest essentials, Electric Messiah enables four singers, accompanied by guitar and electronics, to explore a selection of the work’s most popular movements through the lens of their own unique styles and cultural backgrounds.

Staged in the intimate, cabaret-style underground of Toronto’s iconic Drake Hotel, it’s an eclectic collaboration among some of Toronto’s most creative singers and instrumentalists, with staging by Ashlie Corcoran. Soundstreams’ Electric Messiah will reconnect you to the music of the holiday season in a way that is surprising, fresh, and above all, FUN.
