Handel’s glorious, much-loved oratorio, Messiah, returns to the magnificent, candlelit surroundings of Worcester Cathedral this December – in the ultimate Christmas concert experience! Performed by the 140 voices of Worcester Festival Choral Society, the region’s leading, large classical choir, Messiah has been one of the world’s most popular pieces of classical music for nearly 300 years. From its mighty ‘Hallelujah’ chorus – so moving that King George II was said to have risen to his feet at its premiere – to stunning arias and choruses such as ‘For unto us a child is born’, ‘All we like sheep’ and ‘The trumpets shall sound’, this is a concert of choral favourites like no other. This performance is also the Choral Society's annual Benefit Concert for local children's causes, in partnership with grant-giving charity the Worcestershire Community Foundation. In addition the performance marks the Choral Society’s inaugural Hallelujah! Young Singers Opportunity, a new initiative encouraging a number of students and teachers from local secondary schools to experience the thrill of taking part in one of the most beloved choral works of all time. Accompanying Worcester Festival Choral Society are four, stellar soloists, Alexandra Kidgell (soprano), Kate Symonds-Joy (mezzo soprano), William Balkwill (tenor) and Alex Ashworth (bass baritone), and the superb Meridian Sinfonia Baroque orchestra; all under the baton of Worcester Cathedral's director of music Samuel Hudson. So snap up your seats for a magical evening of music this Christmas! Book tickets at www.wfcs.online or call the TicketSource Hotline: 0333 666 3366 |
