We The Messiah is a Hip Hop Remix of Handel's Messiah. It is a theatrical concert and reimagining of the classic concert piece Handel's Messiah in which three MC's embark on an epic path to social change facing power, passion, and persecution while holding on to the promise of a better future in this theatrical concert piece of verses, beatboxing, live looping, and classical music featuring the Grammy nominated PUBLIQuartet. It's a melodic ode to activism, a crescendo call for collective action, and an instrumental invitation to awaken the messiah that lives in us all.
