AAM joins the Choir of Westminster Abbey for one of classical music's best-known works in this extraordinary location.
A performance of Messiah in Westminster Abbey is always a special occasion thanks to the composer’s unique association with the Abbey. A London resident for over 40 years, Handel wrote some of his most celebrated music for performance here and is buried in Poets’ Corner, where he is immortalised in an imposing life-size statue by Louis-François Roubiliac. Beside the figure of the composer is a musical score showing a fragment of the Messiah aria ‘I know that my Redeemer liveth’.
The Choir of Westminster Abbey is renowned worldwide as one of the finest ensembles of its type, its repertoire extending from plainsong and Renaissance polyphony to twentieth-century masterpieces and new commissions. In addition to singing the daily services, as it has done since the fourteenth century, the Choir plays a central role in the many royal and state occasions which are held in the Abbey, most recently the State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and The Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

Haydn - The Creation
Sung in English
Featuring:
Elinor Rolfe Johnson, Soprano
Andrew Staples, Tenor
James Platt, Bass
In the beginning, there was the Word – but for Joseph Haydn, there was music too: some of the freshest ever written. ‘When I think of God, I can write only cheerful music’, he said, and his oratorio The Creation is powered by a sense of joy that embraces both earthworms and angels. But Haydn’s vision of a universe emerging from chaos also inspired music of cosmic grandeur, and with a group as spirited as La Nuova Musica, a conductor as expert as David Bates, and a truly stellar line up of soloists, this is a concert to light up a November night.

Handel - Rinaldo HWV7 Overture
Handel - Aci, Galatea e Polifemo HWV72
Featuring:
Lucy Crowe, Soprano (as Aci)
Fleur Barron, Mezzo-soprano (as Galatea)
Luigi De Donato, Bass (as Poifemo)
David Bates and La Nuova Musica and an all star cast tackle Handel’s Italian cantata, first performed in Naples in 1708. Aci, Galatea and Polifemo has a similar plot to his better-known English serenata Acis and Galatea of 1718, but an almost entirely different score full of wonderful music. Aci lacks an overture, so that to Handel’s first London opera Rinaldo (1711) is co-opted for this occasion.
Davina joins Hannah French on BBC Radio 3, ‘The Early Music Show’ to chat about her new album, ‘The Art of Obligato’.
