Messiah

HANDEL’S GLORIOUS MASTERPIECE Since its inception, the Ulster Consort has been dazzling audiences with its innovative, dramatic, and moving performances of this titan of the baroque canon of music. The group’s performances – using period instruments, small vocal forces, and performing in an historically- informed style – make this annual offering thrillingly unique in Northern Ireland. Four, superb soloists – all from Northern Ireland and Ireland – join the Ulster Consort & Players in Newry and Belfast, to relive the story of Christ’s birth, passion, and resurrection. Early booking is advised! THE ULSTER CONSORT & PLAYERS (on period instruments) REBECCA MURPHY soprano LAURA LAMPH mezzo soprano OWEN LUCAS tenor EOGHAN DESMOND bass MATTHEW OWENS conductor
