Autumn concert
Messiah, part 1 by G F Handel
7:30 pm Saturday 22nd November 2025
Tickets: £10 (under 16s free) from White Rose Books (Thirsk), choir members or at the door.
​
We are very much looking forward to performing Part I of Handel’s Messiah, one of the best known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music.
Part 1 is sometimes called the “Christmas” portion, covering as it does the prophecy of the coming of the Messiah and his virgin birth, and the annunciation to the shepherds of his birth. Our performance will conclude with "Hallelujah" (chorus) from Part II as the finale.
​
The Mowbray Singers are once again joined by Strings Attached, with keyboard continuo provided by Evelyn Wilson and organ by Helen Proudley.
