in association with York Early Music Christmas Festival

Messiah is essential listening for the festive season. Yorkshire Bach Choir is joined by an outstanding team of solo singers alongside the energy and skill of Yorkshire Baroque Soloists, the early instrument ensemble. Returning to this much loved music with fresh eyes, we will echo Handel’s London performances from the last decade of his life, including some rarely heard versions. The musical highlight of any Christmas!’

‘outstanding…the choir was sublime in its range of power. Faultless intonation and rhythmic accuracy…freshness and sincerity…[the soloists were} uniformally good, both in accuracy and expression’
