The Children’s Messiah event on December 16th at The Queen's Hall in Edinburgh promises a delightful experience for both children and adults alike. Enjoying performances led by Mr Handel and Frances, who bring to life Handel's classic oratorio with engaging stories and lively music, this family-friendly event is priced at just £6 and lasts about 45 minutes. It’s a perfect way to introduce the Christmas story in an enjoyable setting for everyone.
Our Children’s Messiah performances are specially crafted with young audiences and curious first-time concertgoers in mind! Led by Mr Handel and his lively footwoman, Frances, this fun-filled 45-minute adaptation of Handel’s masterpiece introduces children to some of his most famous music through storytelling, interactive games, and plenty of audience participation along the way. For many children, this will be their very first visit to the concert hall, and we want it to be a transformative experience. Alongside the music, audiences will meet our soloists, conductor, chorus, and orchestra, discovering what makes live performance so inspiring. And for some brave volunteers, there may even be the chance to conduct the orchestra themselves… Matthew Truscott directorThe singers and instrumentalists of Dunedin Consort Paul Whittaker BSL Interpreter
