The Downtown Messiah

 

"For six consecutive years, the Bottom Line has presented "The Downtown Messiah," which has now become a New York tradition. Under the direction of Richard Barone, arrangements of Peter Kiesewalter (The Angstones), and choral direction of Margaret Dorn (The Accidentals), the DM occupies a unique landscape, where two hundred and fifty years of straight ahead performances of Handel's masterpiece collide head on with the potent influences of jazz, rock. experimental, folk, blues and gospel that make New York the most exciting musical city in the world." (from the Bottom Line website)
