Worcester Festival Choral Society’s annual performance of Handel’s glittering oratorio, Messiah, has become renowned as the region’s ultimate pre-Christmas concert – and this year will have a special a candlelit setting. 

For more than 280 years, Messiah has held a unique place in the affections of music lovers across the world. Its compelling arias and many magnificent choruses – not least the ‘Hallelujah’ chorus and ‘For Unto Us a Child is Born’ – are among the most popular pieces of classical music ever written.

Featuring the 150 voices of Worcester Festival Choral Society, the Meridian Sinfonia baroque orchestra and four, internationally acclaimed soloists, this major concert on Saturday 10 December at 7.30pm promises a memorable evening of glorious choral music in the majestic setting of Worcester Cathedral. Samuel Hudson, Worcester Cathedral’s director of music, conducts.

Soloists (pictured, from top left clockwise):
   Philippa Hyde - soprano
   Sarah Denbee - mezzo soprano
   Tom Robson - tenor
   Edward Grint - bass baritone
