LINCOLN SATURDAY 20th NOVEMBER HANDEL’S MESSIAH AT LINCOLN CATHEDRAL

This year, Lincoln Cathedral Choir returns with their performance of Handel’s Messiah, a spectacular piece of music which is to be accompanied by Lincolnshire Chamber Orchestra. Messiah features one of the most famous pieces of choral music, the Hallelujah Chorus, however this piece has so much more to offer. In most of Handel’s oratorios, the choir sing brief choruses but it is the soloists who dominate. Messiah differs in the fact that it is made up of striking solo arias, interspersed with captivating choral numbers telling the story of Jesus’s birth, life, death and resurrection. During Victorian times, a trend arose with Messiah being performed by larger and larger musical companies, almost as if a competition was running to see how big an orchestra could get before the stage collapsed. The Cathedral assures us that their stage will hold long enough to ensure an unforgettable evening! n £12-£50, 7pm, call 01522 561632 or see lincolncathedral.com.
