Highlights in concert from Handel's Messiah

Handel’s Messiah is still one of the most beloved oratorios in the repertoire, nearly three centuries after its creation. It was originally an Easter offering, drawing on English biblical texts compiled by Charles Jennens, and was first performed in Dublin in 1742. A telling of the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, it comprises a thrilling mix of majestic choruses and beautiful arias.

In this performance of selected highlights* from the full work, Brunswick Vocal Arts presents four vocal stars of the future in the solo parts.

Soprano - Beatriz Volante

Alto - Lily Mo Browne

Tenor - Samuel Downes

Bass - Peter Lidbetter

The Orchestra and Chorus of Brunswick Vocal Arts will be conducted by Gary Matthewman.
