About the event
Join St Martin’s Voices and St Martin’s Chamber Ensemble for a Christmas performance of Handel’s Messiah. This masterful oratorio was first performed in Dublin in 1742 and is a tour-de-force of iconic choruses and arias reflecting on Christ’s life, death and resurrection – including the inimitable Hallelujah chorus and the sublime soprano aria I know that my redeemer liveth.
