It's getting dark, the Christmas lights are up and crackers are on sale at the supermarket. But the sign that the festive season is truly upon us is The Sixteen's glorious Messiah, which they'll be performing along with a stellar line-up of soloists, at the Barbican Hall on Wednesday 3 December 2008. BBC New Generation Artist Elizabeth Watts will be joined on stage by Catherine Wyn-Rogers (who can be heard on our new recording of Messiah 'graphically evoking the refiner's fire'), James Gilchrist and Christopher Purves, also to be heard on our new recording 'adding a sonorous bass extension to his incisive baritone'.
Join us if you can for what promises to be a remarkable evening - not least because it will be the 150th time that The Sixteen have performed Messiah.
