Triumphant Messiah performance
Our Director of Music, Ben Sawyer, with choir, soloists and orchestra, leads the final movement in a highly acclaimed performance of Handel's Messiah.A near full-house listened to what is undoubtedly the best known of all oratorios. Audience member and musician Terry Barter said: "It may be well known, but it needs to be sung as if it's fresh out of the box, and the choir and soloists certainly achieved that. The whole thing was tremendous."
Soloists were: soprano Catriona Holsgrove, alto (and friend of the choir) Elisabeth Irvine, tenor Deryck Webb and bass Will Stevens. The Regency Sinfonia orchstra and continuo player Chris Guild completed the line up.
