For many Christians and music lovers, Handel's Messiah plays a central part in every Christmas celebration; the work has been a runaway success ever since its packed-out premiere in Dublin in 1742. In his festive lecture, Sandy examines Handel's revolutionary impact on Georgian music making, reflects on his brilliant librettist Charles Jennens, muses on performances over the years, and celebrates Messiah's many unforgettable moments, not least the Hallelujah Chorus - just how did it become so famous?
TIMINGS: Morning Lecture & Online @ 10:45 / Afternoon Lecture @ 14:15. Arrive early to enjoy drinks, lunch and great company.
