Handel Messiah

Under Edward Higginbottom’s exceptional leadership, the Choir of New College Oxford has gained a worldwide reputation and is known particularly for its stylish performances of Renaissance and Baroque music.

With a carefully chosen team of soloists and an exuberant orchestra made up of top young talents from across Europe, a sparkling evening is certain. Hallelujah!
