Who’s on stage
None other than our very own Royal Northern Sinfonia, special guest conductor Peter Whelan and four superb vocal soloists.
What they’re playing
Just one piece, George Frideric Handel’s choral masterpiece: Messiah.
This is one of those pieces of classical music that’s managed to seep into the popular consciousness – the Hallelujah Chorus, like Nessun Dorma or Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is somehow one of those pieces of music that people just know. But it’s just one highlight out of many in Messiah. Handel really was a tunesmith, plus he knew how to tug at your emotions, whether it’s fear, anger, jubilation or sadness.
