Handel's Messiah
|
Saturday 22nd November 2025
Lancaster Priory LA1 1YZ 7:30 pm Lancaster and District Choral Society invites you to an unmissable evening of music that has echoed through centuries. This November, we present Handel’s Messiah - a towering masterpiece that stirs the soul and shakes the heavens.
First performed in 1742, Messiah has captivated audiences for nearly 300 years. It is a sweeping meditation on prophecy, suffering, resurrection, and glory, drawn entirely from Christian scripture and set to music of astonishing intensity and invention. From the prophetic shadows of “Behold, darkness shall cover the earth” to the triumphant blaze of “Hallelujah”, this is no mere concert. It is a pilgrimage through anguish, hope, sacrifice and redemption. Joined by a professional orchestra and world-class soloists, Lancaster and District Choral Society brings fresh fire to Handel’s most iconic oratorio. The music speaks with urgency, beauty and power - whether heard for the first time or the fiftieth. Join us for a night of sublime drama and glorious sound, as we breathe life into this monumental work. |
