A PASTORAL MESSIAH
A staged version of Handel's great oratorio
From a member of the 2011 audience:
"I have never felt so emotional listening to or singing the Messiah. I am sure it will become a Xmas classic and many choral societies or maybe schools will want to participate."
Set in rural England, A Pastoral Messiah is a tale of love, betrayal, class antagonism and the grace needed to forgive. An Anglican parson and a charismatic Methodist preacher counsel the young Squire, Milkmaid and Carpenter as they grapple with sin, suffering and repentance. The story of the Messiah - as illuminated through Handel's music - resonates with new power for all of us.
Our performances in 2011 took place in Mickleham, Wimbledon and Wadhurst. They were hugely successful. We are currently building a consortium for a series of performances in autumn 2012. Please get in touch if your Choral Society, Choir or Church may be interested in participating in and hosting a performance.
