Concert Details

Title:	Messiah for the Millennium
Performed by:	Heathfield Choral Society
Time:	Saturday, 16 December 2000, at 7:30pm
Place:	Community College, Heathfield
Description:	The first performance of this work took place in a theatre in Dublin and was intended for the limited number of singers and musicians who could be accommodated in such an intimate setting. Messiah now comes in all shapes and sizes from the Royal Albert Hall to a Village Hall. This Messiah will be rather special - more like the early performances. With local professional musicians and soloists it will allow the audience a rare opportunity to experience the immediacy and intimacy of the work as Handel intended. Soloists in the performance include Dawn Taylor and John Allpress who have sung both as soloists and choir members in numerous highly acclaimed concerts. The Heathfield Choral Society will be accompanied by the Lyric Chamber Orchestra and conducted by Brian Newman, its Musical Director who last conducted this work in a memorable Good Friday performance in Eastbourne. This is a big season for the Choral Society with a performance of the Mozart Requiem in May 2001 and concerts in Lewes and Eastbourne, by invitation, in the early part of 2001.
