The City of Birmingham Choir’s December performance of Handel’s magnificent choral masterpiece is a well-established element of the Midlands’ festive music scene.
In a Christmas nutshell - and as the choir itself describes it - the work “compresses the Old Testament prophesies of Jesus’ life into two-and-a-half hours and sets it to timeless and sublime music”.
As re-tellings of the Christmas story go, this is definitely one worth hearing...
The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra further add to the magic. Adrian Lucas conducts.
