Programme

Overview

Experience Handel’s Messiah in all its timeless grandeur this Christmas, featuring four radiant soloists, the world-renowned Temple Church Choir and the period ensemble Temple Players. Journey from the humble Nativity to the triumphant Ascension through stirring arias and resounding choruses in this beloved festive tradition.This Christmas, the hallowed nave of the Temple Church will resonate with the majestic strains of Handel’s Messiah as four lustrous soloists guide the narrative from the serene Nativity through the poignant Passion, triumphant Resurrection and exultant Ascension. Under Thomas Allery’s spirited direction, the world-renowned Temple Church Choir weaves crystalline harmonies with the rich timbres of Temple Players’ hand-picked period ensemble—gut-strung strings, oboes d’amore and harpsichord continuo—each voice and instrument rising in perfect baroque balance. Revel in the tender “For unto us a Child is born,” be moved by the solemn beauty of “He was despised,” and share in the jubilant exultation of the “Hallelujah Chorus” as the nave’s architecture amplifies every note. Steeped in centuries-old tradition yet infused with fresh interpretive energy, this performance has become a cherished highlight of our festive season. Immerse yourself in an evening where history, artistry and sacred celebration converge in glorious harmony.
