Messiah

Begin the holiday season with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, returning to the Lighthouse Poole on Wednesday 17 December, for another year of Handel’s Messiah. Conductor David Bates leads soloists Anna Dennis, Bethany Horak-Hallett, Anthony Gregory, William Thomas as well as much loved community choir, Bournemouth Symphony Chorus.

We commence the festive period with one of the most celebrated pieces in the classical canon, Handel’s Messiah. Since 1742, Messiah has secured itself in the Christmas calendar as a true celebration of the nativity. Heaped with beautiful arias including He was Despised and Rejected and I Know that My Redeemer Liveth and rousing choruses like For Unto Us a Child is Born and the ever-popular Hallelujah Chorus. This sublime work offers the quintessential holiday celebration.
