East Bridge Chorale: Handel’s Messiah

East Bridge Chorale perform Georg Friedrich Handel’s Messiah. Directed by Benedict Preece and accompanied by The East Bridge Concert Orchestra and vocal soloists Maryam Wocial (Soprano), Sian Sulke (Alto), Francis Melville (Tenor) and Gabriel Tufail-Smith (Bass). Composed in a mere 24 days in 1741, Messiah remains one of the most frequently performed and universally beloved pieces of classical choral music in the world, blending dramatic operatic storytelling with deeply moving spiritual devotion. From the driving energy of its opening notes to the tender soloist arias and the thunderous “Hallelujah” chorus, this epic and timeless oratorio delivers an unforgettable emotional journey portraying the life, death and resurrection of Christ.
