Manchester Camerata & Kantos - Handel's Messiah

Start your festivities with this most beloved of masterpieces.

Feel immersed in the festivities amongst the warm, candlelit atmosphere of The Great Nave of the Monastery for this joyful celebratory performance of Handel’s Messiah, notably one of the most famous pieces of baroque choral music.

Always a sell-out, Manchester Camerata are back with another performance of Handel’s Messiah by candlelight in the epic setting, and are joined yet again by  artistic partner, Kantos Chamber Choir, whose mesmerising, transcendent voices complement the heavenly tones of the Camerata orchestra.

Dating back to 1742 the power and beauty of Handel’s rousing ‘Hallelujah’ chorus and ‘For unto us a child is born’ will engulf the incredible natural acoustics of The Great Nave.

The performance will transport us back in time away from modern distractions to allow for a moment of stillness, rejuvenation and joy before the holiday period.

This is a very popular event, so don’t miss your opportunity to see Handel’s infamous piece, which he composed within a whirlwind of 24 days.
