Messiah
Overview
The London Handel Festival’s annual performance of Messiah is a truly unique opportunity to hear Handel’s timeless masterpiece in the very church where the composer himself worshipped.
This year, conductor Richard Gowers leads the combined forces of the Choir of St George’s, the London Handel Orchestra, and four remarkable soloists – all past finalists and winners of the International Handel Singing Competition.
This event regularly sells out, so early booking is strongly advised.
