Handel and the Human Voice

Enthusiastic amateur singers and Handel enthusiasts are invited to join LHF Musical Director Laurence Cummings and leading Handel scholar Ruth Smith to explore just how Handel’s vocal writing is so utterly extraordinary.

Singers will work through selected choruses from Messiah, focusing on the marriage of text and vocal line, examining vocal techniques and dramatic intent as well as having fun with this incredible music!

The event will enrich your understanding of Handel’s peerless ability to write for the human voice.

This interactive event is open to all voice types and singers of all levels of experience, though we recommend having some score-reading ability to get the most out of the session.
