$Handel \u2013 Dixit Dominus$

Dr Elizabeth Scott returns to conduct Handel's baroque tour de force.
Experience the exhilarating power of Handel at Festival of Voices, as acclaimed conductor Dr Elizabeth Scott leads a spectacular celebration of baroque choral music.
At the heart of the concert is Dixit Dominus, the astonishing masterpiece Handel wrote at just 22 years of age. It is a work of blazing energy, virtuosic choral writing and dramatic intensity. Performed by the 120 singers of the Festival’s Classical Choral Workshop, this electrifying rendition is brought to life with local soloists and members of the Hobart Chamber Orchestra, and Hobart Wind Symphony, creating a sound of thrilling scale and brilliance.
The program also features the iconic coronation anthem Zadok the Priest, performed by the Come Sing Handel Choir, delivering all the ceremonial splendour and spine-tingling excitement for which the work is famed.
The concert reaches its joyous finale as the choirs unite in a massed performance of Handel’s beloved Hallelujah Chorus. This is sure to be an unforgettable Festival of Voices moment that invites audiences to share in the sheer exhilaration of this timeless music.
Bold, uplifting and unmissable, this concert will be a triumphant highlight of the Festival of Voices and a must for lovers of great choral music.
