Messiah – G. F. Händel
The ultimate Christmas composition.
The composition is loved for its dramatic and expressive music, and the combination of choral and solo work makes it an impressive and compelling work.
The musicians play authentic string instruments and are complemented by natural trumpet and timpani. Handel’s Messiah is the most appreciated oratorio during the Christmas season. Enjoy the unique atmosphere that typifies Handel’s Messiah in the Laurenskerk Rotterdam.
Soloists

Olga Zinovieva performs beautiful soprano arias with her sensitive and pure voice. Mezzo-soprano Melina Meschkat and tenor Martinus Leusink have impressive baroque voices.
