The Messiah - Hayes Symphony Orchestra

Part of the Hayes Symphony Orchestra 2017-18

Add to my Calendar 25-11-2017 19:30 25-11-2017 21:30 36 The Messiah - Hayes Symphony Orchestra With the decline in public taste for Italian opera during the 1730s Handel's attention moved towards English-language oratorio and in 1741 Handel received Charles Jennens' text for the Messiah. In a mere 24 days he had completed the bulk of the composition. Surprisingly, perhaps, the first performance was in Dublin and not London, although it was warmly received at the Great Music Hall in Fishamble Street. Londoners reacted more coolly to the work and it was some time before the Messiah's popularity grew to the extent that we are familiar today.  In a new association Dan James conducts the Hayes Symphony Orchestra with the Brighton Voices. The soloists are Matthew Wood (bass), Synne Dyvik (soprano) and Steven Berryman (tenor). St Francis of Assisi Church, London DD/MM/YYYY
