Experience George Frideric Handel’s glorious Messiah performed by the world-renowned Choir of York Minster in the cathedral’s awe-inspiring Nave, alongside an accomplished orchestra and celebrated soloists.
From the sorrowful tones of ‘He Was Despised’ to the jubilant culmination of God’s triumph in the ‘Hallelujah’ chorus, Handel’s Messiah narrates Christ’s Passion, Crucifixion and Resurrection through spectacular choral and orchestral music.
Considered by many to be the most beautiful musical representation of the great Easter story that allows us to walk with Christ to the cross, Handel’s Messiah offers contrasting episodes of deep contemplation and exultation, and has quickly become a tradition in the concert calendar of the city of York.

Good to know:
Tickets cost £32 for the Front Nave and £20 for the Rear Nave.
Tickets for the Nave Side Aisles cost £15, with a concessionary price of £7.50 available for students and those aged 27 and under.
Tickets can also be booked by calling York Minster’s Bookings Team on 01904 557200.
