Dunedin Consort: Messiah

View allAbout This Event
The Dunedin Consort performs Handel’s Messiah at The Queens Hall in Edinburgh on 16 December 2026. The production uses a small orchestra and twelve singers who step out as soloists, following historically informed practices. The concert features grand choruses and solo passages to mark the festive season.
It’s no surprise that Handel’s Messiah continues to draw audiences back year after year. There is nothing quite like it. Although the Hallelujah chorus has become the work’s calling card, Handel wrote every note to impress and astound his listeners. Its choruses are as grand as anything Handel ever composed, the solo writing profoundly moving, the drama powerful and compelling. Performed ‘the Dunedin way’ as Handel would have first heard it, with a small orchestra, a team of twelve singers and soloists who step out from the chorus, there are few more uplifting ways to celebrate the festive season.
