Ely Cathedral - Handel's Messiah
Ely Cathedral is proud to announce that we are now taking bookings for Handel’s Messiah performed by Polphony and the Britten Sinfonia on Wednesday Thursday 18th December

Stephen Layton conductor
Handel Messiah
Handel’s remarkable oratorio Messiah, with its vivid portrayal of biblical scenes and igh emotional charge, is staple ’fare’ in many people's Christmas musical diet. And rightly so alongside brilliant solo arias, its magnificent choruses fired a whole nation's passion for choral-singing. Acclaimed vocal group Polyphony, conducted by Stephen Layton, provides the thrilling choral sound to set off a quartet of superb young soloists. For over a decade Polyphony's annual London performances of Messiah have sold out, so it is a particular delight to be touring with them prior to recording the work at St John’s, Smith Square for release in 2009.
‘No-one, but no-one performs Messiah better every year than the choir Polyphony under the conductor Stephen Layton.’ Evening Standard
Venue: Ely Cathedral
Time: 7.30pm
Tickets: Please phone the box office on 01353 660349 or book online.
