Written in an astonishing 24 days in 1741, Messiah sets text from the King James Bible and other sacred works, beginning with the prophesies of the birth of Christ to the Resurrection, in sublime music written for an orchestra, chorus, and four vocal soloists, including the powerful and joyous Hallelujah Chorus.
Conductor Ivars Taurins, music director of the JUNO nominated Tafelmusik Chamber Choir, leads a 20-piece professional orchestra, 40-member chorus and an internationally-recognized quartet of soloists in this inspirational and glorious event, in an historically-informed performance of this seasonal favourite. Listeners of all beliefs will be moved by Handel’s monumental artistic achievement.
