Messiah - Pre Christmas

Messiah poster imageMost years we present  Handel's 'Messiah' by candlelight and for the glory of God. It is normally the Sunday evening before Christmas.

The choir and soloists (all regular worshipers at Prince George),  sing Part 1 (the Christmas section), plus well loved arias and choruses from Parts 2 & 3, including 'Hallelujah' and 'I know that my Redeemer liveth'. A copy of the program, including the full text of 'Messiah' can be downloaded here.

The regular Prince George Adult Choir are joined by the Youth section of the Junior Choir (always a high point!). Last year the soloists were:

Bass

Tenor 

Alto 

Soprano

Jason Hamshaw (our extremely talented Youth Minister)

Jeremy Vause (our leader tenor and 'in demand' local soloist)

Sarah Blamire (recently arrived from England)

Junior Choir (some individuals and some as a section)

In addition to the organ, we were accompanied by harpsichordist Jim Calk and trumpeter Joey Pittman.Prince George choir sing Handel's Messiah

At the end of the evening everyone is invited to a reception in the parish hall where mince pies and mulled wine (traditional since the middle ages in Europe) will beare served alongside more familiar treats.
