Hear Handel’s Hallelujah chorus at Southwark Cathedral in this brand new classical Christmas compilation of Handel’s greatest hits, featuring hundreds of young people from local schools and one of the UK’s finest professional music ensembles, Gabrieli.

Mr Handel’s Christmas Story is a ‘new’ oratorio to celebrate Christmas and introduce young people to some of Handel’s greatest music.
 
6,000 young singers, 11 cities, and 28 of Gabrieli’s professional instrumentalists and singers: Gabrieli Roar’s Mr Handel’s Christmas Story tour comes to Southwark Cathedral!
 
An exciting and original concept created by Gabrieli Artistic Director Paul McCreesh CBE, the programme will include many highlights from Messiah alongside movements from other Handel oratorio, adapted and re-texted to create a programme that retells the Christmas story in full. Culminating in a joyous rendition of the Hallelujah chorus, Gabrieli’s full Baroque orchestra and singers will be joined by schools and youth choirs from across London.

About Gabrieli Roar

Gabrieli Roar is a choral singing programme for young people across the UK, involving young singers in professional performances. Working in partnership with schools, music hubs and cathedrals, we exist to increase the number and quality of singing opportunities available to all. We believe passionately that one of the most significant barriers to young people’s enjoyment of choral music is simply opportunity. The thrill of singing as part of a massed choir with orchestra and soloists never fails to engage our singers. They love it!
