Messiah

Since its inception, the Ulster Consort has been dazzling audiences with its innovative, dramatic, and moving performances of this titan of the baroque canon of music. The group’s performances – using period instruments, small vocal forces, and performing in an historically- informed style – make this annual offering thrillingly unique in Northern Ireland. Four, superb soloists – all from Northern Ireland and Ireland – join the Ulster Consort & Players in Newry and Belfast, to relive the story of Christ’s birth, passion, and resurrection.
