Early Music Vancouver and the Vancouver Chamber Choir celebrate the holiday season with the return of Handel’s Messiah at the Orpheum on December 8 at 7:30 pm.

The Pacific Baroque Orchestra (Early Music Vancouver’s in-house orchestra) and the Vancouver Chamber Choir come together in this glorious masterwork led by celebrated conductor Alexander Weimann.

The musicians are joined by four internationally acclaimed soloists: soprano Sherezade Panthaki, alto Allyson McHardy, tenor Nicholas Scott, and bass Jonathon Adams—each of whom will perform from memory, thereby enhancing the storytelling side of this glorious work.

This rendition of Handel’s Messiah offers an intimate baroque styling of the seasonal favourite, reminiscent of the period instruments and display of virtuosity with which Handel would have been acquainted. With an orchestra of 21 period instrumentalists and a chorus of 24 chamber vocalists, audiences will be transported to the concert halls of 18th-century England.

Tickets and more details are available here.
