Handel Messiah

Dedication

These performances of Handel’s Messiah are dedicated to the memory of Margarita Kuchma (2000–2021), a gifted and deeply engaged artist enrolled in the Master’s Degree program in Human Rights and the Arts at Bard. She will be missed by all who had the privilege to know her.
