Messiah

Every other Christmas, the full forces of Sydney Philharmonia Choirs gather to revel in the grandeur and joyous optimism of our favourite oratorio:  Handel’s Messiah.  It’s a tradition that never grows old.

The musical experience is sublime – baroque splendour married to the power of massed voices and full orchestra.  The setting is superb – Sydney’s most beautiful concert hall.  And the spiritual message is one of transcendent faith and uplifting joy.  Add a magnificent quartet of soloists and the stylish touch of conductor Elizabeth Scott, and you’re guaranteed a performance that will bring you to your feet – Hallelujah!

Friday, 11 December – 8pm
