Skipton Camerata: Handel's Messiah

Skipton Camerata with The Clothworkers Consort of Leeds

Ben Crick directs the nation's favourite choral masterpiece in Skipton Town Hall.

Two hundred years ago, Handel’s Messiah was the biggest hit in the history of British music and with moments like ‘Ev’ry Valley’, ‘For Unto Us A Child is Born’ and ‘The Trumpet Shall Sound’, it’s easy to hear why. Messiah is both a classical masterpiece and a national institution. Highly regarded for its musical and emotional expressiveness, Messiah's popularity owes much to its ability to appeal to a wide range of listeners.
