Northern Chords Festival: Handel's Messiah

After the success of Dido and Aeneas last season we are very excited to end of 2026 Festival with a new & shortened version of Messiah. It will be specially arranged for Northern Chords in a semi-staged concept, and directed for the space by Ben Johnson. We will again be collaborating with the incredible Voices of Hope for this special afternoon concert. To open the concert the fabulous Martin James Bartlett will perform Bach’s First Keyboard Concerto in D minor.
