Messiah

Start your festive season right, with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra at the Lighthouse, Poole on Wednesday 16 December. Join the BSO alongside Conductor Paul McCreesh, soloists Anna Dennis, Anna Harvey, Tom Walker, Matthew Brook and the fantastic Bournemouth Symphony Chorus.

We commence the festive period with one of the most celebrated pieces in the classical canon, Handel’s jubilant oratorio. Since 1742, Messiah has secured itself in the Christmas calendar as a true celebration of the nativity. Heaped with beautiful arias including He was Despised and Rejected and I Know that My Redeemer Liveth and rousing choruses like For Unto Us a Child is Born and the ever-popular Hallelujah Chorus. This sublime work offers the quintessential holiday celebration.
