Programme Note
Ever wanted to sing the Hallelujah Chorus with a professional Baroque ensemble and outstanding soloists? Of course you have!
Handel’s Messiah has always had a special place in the hearts of singers and audiences alike. Join Ipswich Choral Society and their Music Director Robin Walker for a special performance of Handel's great oratorio Messiah. Accompanied by professional period instrument ensemble Vivace! and wonderful young soloists from the Royal Academy of Music, it promises to be a truly amazing experience.
Everyone is welcome, whether it's your first time trying a choir or you have lots of experience - it's all about having a great time singing together.
The day begins with rehearsal time led by Robin Walker, ICS Music Director and well-known choral conductor, to prepare each choral piece and gain tips on how to sing well. After a break for tea, we will perform highlights from “Messiah” accompanied by our world-class players and soloists, all in the comfortable and modern surroundings of Suffolk One.
We will use the Novello Edition of Messiah (ISBN 978-0-85360-211-8), edited by Watkins Shaw. If you don't have your own score we can provide one for you.
