conducted by Peter Seymour
Handel’s Messiah is essential listening for the Christmas season. We present Yorkshire Bach Choir’s increasingly popular and highly regarded performance with our usual outstanding team of soloists and our own early instruments orchestra Yorkshire Baroque Soloists. As usual we adopt Handel’s practice of introducing some rarely heard versions of certain movements alongside familiar favourites and this performance will recreate Handel’s London performances from the last decade of his life.
