Messy Messiah
- Saturday 22nd March
- 6pm to 8pm
- Portsmouth Cathedral
As part of Portsmouth Cathedral’s Early Music Festival, Portsmouth Cathedral Choir, soloists, and orchestra will be joined by children from local schools to present Part One of Handel’s iconic oratorio – with a fresh twist. Blending music, drama, and visual art, this dynamic retelling will be introduced by none other than Mr Handel himself!
Composed in 1741, Messiah has long been a cornerstone of choral music, but it is often reserved for adult audiences. Messy Messiah reimagines this masterpiece, creating an immersive and engaging experience for all ages. Through song, storytelling, and creativity, we invite you to witness a fresh and vibrant retelling of this beloved work.
