Hi - just thought I'd pass on some information about an event that might interest an classical music fans!
Messiah
Handel’s Messiah will be the first ever choral performance to be streamed live via satellite to cinemas across the UK and Europe on Palm Sunday, April 5, courtesy of Arts Alliance Media - tickets now on sale. The live screening will be in High Definition and 5.1 surround sound.
The world famous Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, will sing the best loved choral masterpiece from the magnificent setting of King’s College Chapel. The award-winning Choir’s performance starring soloists Ailish Tynan (soprano), Alice Coote (mezzo-soprano), Allan Clayton (tenor) and Matthew Rose (bass) will be streamed live to cinemas to mark the 250th anniversary of the death of George Frideric Handel and the 800th anniversary of the prestigious University of Cambridge.The Choir of King’s College dates back to the mid-1400s and consists of sixteen choristers and fourteen choral scholars. Arts Alliance Media will now share their revered rendition of Handel’s Messiah with over 90 cinemas across Europe.
The performance is the cornerstone of the Easter at King’s festival of music and services. Conducted by Stephen Cleobury, Director of Music for the Choir at King’s College, Messiah will also feature the Academy of Ancient Music, one of the world’s first and finest period-instrument ensembles now in its fourth decade. They have performed across six continents, made over 250 recordings and were the first orchestra to record all of Mozart’s symphonies on period instruments. Handel’s Messiah will be live in cinemas on Sunday 5 April at 7.30pm UK and 8.30pm across the rest of Europe, presented by Opus Arte and King’s College Cambridge in association with Arts Alliance Media, DigiScreen and EMI Classics.
Handel based Messiah on a libretto by Charles Jennens that employs verses from the bible to present the life of Jesus. The work is in three sections: the Advent and Christmas, Christ’s passion and the events told in the Revelation to St. John.
