| Performance Notes | The Really Big Chorus presents the 50th anniversary performance of the worlds most celebrated choral participation event Messiah from Scratch®. This unique event returns year after year, filling the Hall with the sound of more than 3,000 voices.
Messiah from Scratch® is the most adrenaline-filled performance of Handels masterpiece you are ever likely to hear, and one not to be missed, with singers and audience alike leaving the concert buzzing with excitement. Performers often outnumber the audience by three to one; audience tickets are therefore limited, so book now for this unforgettable experience.
For this special anniversary we will hold an auction for the opportunity to conduct an extra performance of the famous Hallelujah Chorus after the interval, with all proceeds going to the British Heart Foundation, so polish up your batons and practise your conducting techniques in front of a mirror! All money from programmes, advertising and sponsorship at this concert will also be exclusively channelled to the British Heart Foundation.
This is the ideal event to kick-start your Christmas celebrations: tickets would make a wonderful Christmas present and enable you and your guests to support a fantastically worthwhile charity at the same time.
We are proud to present a quartet of internationally acclaimed soloists for this anniversary performance, all of whom sang for us at the outset of their careers. |
