Harrogate's Fisher Singers to perform Handel's Messiah on Saturday
The Fisher Singers will be performing the great choral masterpiece, Handel’s Messiah, tomorrow evening at St Wilfrid’s Church. Conductor Alex Kyle will lead the choir, guest orchestra and soloists in an uplifting concert.
Messiah is one of Handel’s most famous and best-loved works. The triumphant ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ has captivated audiences for over 250 years.
June Garbutt is the choir’s Music Director. Speaking about the up-coming performance she said:
“Messiah is a highlight in the repertoire of any chorus and we are delighted to have the opportunity to sing it at St Wilfrid’s, a fantastic venue for Harrogate’s choral music scene.
“Although often sung in the run-up to Christmas, Messiah was in fact first performed at Easter. Along with our wonderful choir there will be some outstanding soloists and orchestra, it will be a very enjoyable evening - do come and listen tomorrow, tickets can be purchased on the door at St Wilfrid's.”
Solo roles are taken by: Eleanore Cockerham, Soprano; Camilla Seale, Mezzo; James Micklethwaite, Tenor; and William Kyle Bass. Alex Kyle will conduct the performance.
