2025 | Handel x MacMillan

  • St. Joseph Church Beirut, Beirut Governorate Lebanon (map)

Admission is free, with tickets reserved through Virgin Ticketing Box Office.

Our unwavering commitment to the rich history of choral music is stronger than ever. This season, we are proud to present two contrasting and virtuosic works: Handel’s “Dixit Dominus” and MacMillan’s “Seven Last Words from the Cross.” “Dixit Dominus” is celebrated for its brilliant counterpoint and lively energy, while “Seven Last Words from the Cross” offers a meditative experience, exploring new tonal colors, modern harmonies, and a deeply moving interpretation of its text.

Join the USJ Choir and String Ensemble, with soloists Yara Kasti, Begoña Gómez, Charles Eid and Cesar Naassy, under the baton of Yasmina Sabbah, on Thursday, June 5, at 8:30 PM at the St. Joseph Church, Monnot. Admission is free, with tickets reserved through Virgin Ticketing BoxOffice.
