Description
Handel’s great oratorio normally lasts around two and a half hours. Through ingenious editing of each movement, this new version reduces the performance to just 75 minutes while still including every movement of the original work – from its most tranquil and reflective moments to its stirring choruses and the uplifting Hallelujah.
 
This concert offers a more traditional Nash Sessions experience: sit back, switch off from the bustle of the festive season and enjoy the extraordinary power and beauty of live choral music. A perfect choice for those who love traditional Christmas music and want to end their Christmas at Kew experience on a memorable and uplifting musical note. Get your tickets today!
