Handel’s Messiah is possibly the greatest collection of choruses and arias ever made and with the approach of Christmas there will be numerous performances throughout the world of this much-loved oratorio with its famous Hallelujah Chorus.
Local audiences will have two opportunities to enjoy Messiah, as Napier Civic Choir joins Hawke’s Bay Orchestra, visiting players and vocal soloists to present concerts in Havelock North and Napier on December 15 and 17.
With an exciting line-up of soloists - soprano Carleen Ebbs, alto Catherine Pierard, tenor LJ Crichton and bass James Harrison – and in the hands of music director José Aparicio, this will be a very special way to move into the Christmas season.
