Handel’s Messiah

The Tudor Consort is proud to present Georg Frederic Handel’s masterpiece Messiah on Thursday 4 December in the Wellington Town Hall, in conjunction with the Vector Wellington Orchestra and a quartet of talented young soloists led by Madeleine Pierard, under the direction of Music Director Michael Stewart.

Handel’s Messiah has delighted audiences worldwide since its premiere in Dublin in 1742. It has enjoyed a long and varied performance history, ranging from the original small-scale performances to the huge blockbuster presentations of the Victorian era. The Tudor Consort joins forces with players from the Vector Wellington Orchestra to present Messiah with the smaller forces that Handel intended, with the dramatic momentum of the operatic stage never far away. 25 voices, 22 instruments, and a quartet of soloists led by 2005 Lexus Song Quest winner Madeleine Pierard, will make for a breathtaking performance that you will not forget.

Thursday 4 December, 7.30pm
Wellington Town Hall
Tickets: $25-$45 available from Ticketek

Renaissance Influences II — Howells and the Tudor tradition

The Tudor Consort’s Renaissance Influences II programme features iconic English composer Herbert Howells (1892-1983), whose early a cappella works for Westminster Cathedral betray his self-confessed affinity to the Tudor period. Written whilst a student at the Royal College of Music, the Mass in the Dorian Mode is a modern take on the polyphonic style of centuries past.

The programme also features Howells’s settings of the Nunc Dimittis and Regina caeli, alongside gems of the Tudor repertoire by Tallis, Byrd and Weelkes.

2pm*, Sunday 19 October
Sacred Heart Cathedral, Hill Street, Wellington

*Pre-concert talk at 1.45pm
