About this event
Handel's Messiah sung by Carlow Choral Society, conducted by our Musical Director, Blanáid Murphy, with the Irish Choral Sinfonia, and soloists; this performance promises to be a stirring performance of this beautiful oratorio.
Handel’s Messiah was first performed in Dublin in 1742. Initially it was proposed that the workwould be an oratorio expressly intended for performance during the week immediately preceding Easter, but it can be said that George Friedrich Handel’s transcendent music is what has made the work so timeless and inspirational. Messiah gained widespread popularity only during the final years of Handel’s life, in the late 1750s, but today it remains one of the best known and loved choral works more than two hundred and seventy years later. Join with us in the beautiful surroundings of Carlow Cathedral to celebrate the beginning of the festive season with this special performance of Handel’s masterpiece.
