The choir is working hard to put the finishing touches to Handel’s Messiah, possibly the best-known choral work in the world, which is regularly performed in concert halls and theatres around the world, as well as featuring in a huge number of films and TV series. The famous Hallelujah chorus is only one of many wonderful and often dramatic choruses, balanced with expressive and beautiful solos. The English text is drawn from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, but its themes of suffering, hope and redemption are universal, and the drama and range of emotional expression make it a riveting concert experience.
Kenneth Roberts conducts, with accompaniment by the Sussex Concert Orchestra and organist Nigel Howard. Bexhill Choral Society is joined by soloists Helen May da Silva (soprano), Sarah Denbee (mezzo-soprano), Kristian Thorkildsen (tenor) and Peter Grevatt (baritone).
Tickets are £15 in advance or £17 on the door and £12 for Friends of BCS. Tickets are available from choir members; from Second Spin in Sackville Road, Bexhill (cash only), or online from ticketsource.co.uk/bcs or 0333 666 3366. Booking is strongly recommended, as this is a very popular piece!
The programme is included and refreshments (wine or juice) will be available in the interval. We anticipate that the concert will finish around 9.30 to 9.45.
