Handel’s greatest oratorio Messiah is as impactful for audiences today as it was at its premiere more than 280 years ago.

Uplifting and thought-provoking, Messiah appeals to all ages and backgrounds and is just as compelling for first-time listeners as it is to those who make an annual pilgrimage to enjoy the famous ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ and hum the ‘Amen Chorus’ on the way home.

For nearly 30 years, Perth Symphonic Chorus has been delighting Western Australian audiences with this baroque masterpiece and this year’s performance in the iconic Perth Concert Hall promises to be the best yet.

James Pratt conducts the Perth Baroque Orchestra and Perth Symphonic Chorus, joined by soprano Sara Macliver, mezzo-soprano Margaret Trubiano, tenor Benjamin Rasheed and bass Robert Hofmann.

Perth Symphonic Chorus presents a program of exquisite choral music, sublime harmonies and soaring melodies designed to soothe and delight music lovers.

The program features Sir John Rutter's The Gift Of Life, a beautiful choral cycle, with six movements exploring the miracles of creation. 

Other works in the concert include Brahms' Geistliches Lied (Sacred Song) set to text by Paul Flemming: Let nothing afflict you with grief; be calm! Why worry today about tomorrow? and American composer Frank Ticheli's There Will Be Rest set to Sara Teasdale's poignant poem. 

The choir will also be singing a new arrangement of art songs by the English composer Ivor Gurney titled Five Elizabethan Songs (1914): Spring, Under the Greenwood Tree, Tears, Orpheus, and Sleep.

Come and join us at Beasley Hall (Perth Modern School) for an afternoon of feel-good choral music. To sample some of the beautiful John Rutter works, click here
