Dec 12 - Dec 14
St Pauls Church
Join us for an inspiring musical evening or matinee featuring Handel’s iconic “Messiah,” renowned for its powerful choral work and uplifting themes.
Messiah is an English-language oratorio composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel. It was first ever performed in Dublin on 13 April 1742 and received its London premiere nearly a year later. The oratorio gained in popularity, eventually becoming one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music.
We love performing Messiah every second year, so join us again in this musical masterpiece!
