El Mesías is a bilingual (Spanish-English) version of Handel’s Messiah combined with Navidad Nuestra, a cantata by Argentine composer Ariel Ramírez that focuses on the Holy Family’s role as refugees in the Christmas story. This will be the third year in which we present a version of El Mesías. This is our most popular program and is on its way to becoming an annual musical event embraced by the Latinx communities of our two venues and the wider Twin Cities classical music audience.

We are committed to making sure that our concerts are accessible to everyone. No one will ever be turned away from a Border CrosSing concert because of a lack of funds! You can purchase tickets online for all Puentes concerts at a fixed price. Tickets are available at the door the day of the event at pay-what-you-can pricing, with a suggested price. Our suggested ticket prices aren’t based on what it costs to produce a concert (that would be much more), they are a starting point to choose your price. For some people, $40 is a lot of money; for others, $4 is a lot. We’re counting on you to let us know what is right for you. If you can afford it, consider paying more to help cover those who can’t.
