Handel’s Messiah on 14 April 2024

This was a fantastic sell out concert. The soloists, all from the Royal Academy of Music, were breathtaking. They they had such beautiful voices and were so enthusiastic that you could mot fail to be moved by their singing. The small orchestra which included a very large harpsichord played superbly and though we say it ourselves – the choir sang very very well. We sang with conviction and pure enjoyment and the audience had a wonderful night of top class music.

And when the Allelujah Chorus came, the audience stood and the choir took aim and lifted the roof off St Peter’s. It was something to behold and hear. We finished the evening with the beautifully gentle aria, Worthy is the Lamb. Glorious is not the word for this work and for the evening.
