Full Event Details
Our Children’s Messiah performances are specially crafted with young ears in mind! Guided by Mr Handel and his footwoman, Frances, this specially devised 45-minute adaptation of Handel’s masterpiece will guide young listeners through some of his greatest hits, with plenty of fun and interactive games along the way. For many children this may be their first introduction to the concert hall — and we want it to be a transformative experience. Get to know our soloists, conductor, chorus and orchestra, as well as the music that we love to perform. And who knows, there might even be the chance for some brave audience members to conduct the orchestra…
