Handel's masterpiece brought back to life
Handel composed Messiah in 1741 in just 24 days. The work consists of 3 parts and combines powerful choral singing with intimate arias. The famous Hallelujah is perhaps the best-known chorus in classical music. The Nederlandse Händelvereniging has performed Messiah more than 150 times and knows the work inside out.
Soloists, orchestra and organ
Conductor Ed Spanjaard leads the choir together with the Holland Symfonie Orkest. Soloists Helena Bickel, Dave ten Kate, Sander de Jong and Raoul Steffani will perform the arias. Wybe Kooijmans plays the organ and David Jansen the harpsichord. Together, they bring Handel's music close to you as a listener.
Grote Kerk in Naarden as a backdrop
The performance will take place in the Grote Kerk in Naarden. This church is known for its special acoustics and atmospheric appearance. The space enhances the effect of the choral singing and gives the music extra depth. A visit to this historic building adds an extra dimension to the musical experience.
