Exeter Philharmonic Choir will begin its new concert season in November with Handel’s wonderful Messiah, the first work it performed in public in 1847, a year after the Choir was founded.
Handel composed his Messiah during 24 days of concentrated creativity in 1741. Since Exeter Philharmonic Choir’s first performance of this dramatic work, the Choir has returned to it many times - to the delight of members and audiences alike.
Exeter Philharmonic Choir’s Director of Music, Howard Ionascu, says everyone is very much looking forward to the concert at Exmouth’s Holy Trinity...
