The London Handel Festival annual performance of Messiah is different this year. Join us online for this unique performance, blending 'live' and 'virtual'. Laurence Cummings will lead four star soloists and the London Handel Orchestra who will perform live from St George's, Hanover Square in London's Mayfair - Handel's own church. This is a carefully managed socially-distanced arrangement behind closed doors, with no audience present in keeping with current lockdown regulations in the UK. The choruses have been prepared and pre-recorded by seven choirs, including our 'Sing at Home' chorus of some 150 singers from 16 countries, and will be integrated digitally into the overall performance. The whole event will be livestreamed on Facebook for global audiences to enjoy free, and will be available on YouTube after. Our soloists are mostly Finalists from our international Handel Singing Competition, including two outright winners. Please share with all your friends and be part of the community watching this "once in a lifetime" online event.
