Handel’s Messiah
Who’s on stage
Kristian Bezuidenhout joins Royal Northern Sinfonia and Chorus of Royal Northern Sinfonia for this seasonal classic.
What they’re playing
Handel’s Messiah has it all. From anger to elation; from sorrow and rage to joy and celebration. Handel was a total master of putting human emotion into music and conveying that emotion in an amazingly direct way. His Messiah is a piece of music that’s ever-fresh and ever-powerful. Its drama and impactful melodies, performed by a combination of orchestra, chorus and vocal soloists, are a perfect start to your Christmas.
This concert includes a free pre-concert talk at 5pm in the auditorium.
