SUMMARY:Children's Messiah
DESCRIPTION:Our Children’s Messiah performances are specially crafted with young audiences and curious first-time concertgoers in mind! \nMatthew Truscott director\nThe singers and instrumentalists of Dunedin Consort\nPaul Whittaker BSL Interpreter  \nOur Children’s Messiah performances are specially crafted with young audiences and curious first-time concertgoers in mind!  \nLed by Mr Handel and his lively footwoman\, Frances\, this fun-filled 45-minute adaptation of Handel’s masterpiece introduces children to some of his most famous music through storytelling\, interactive games\, and plenty of audience participation along the way.  \nFor many children this will be their very first visit to the concert hall\, and we want it to be a transformative experience.

SUMMARY:Handel: Messiah
DESCRIPTION:George Frideric Handel Messiah\, HWV 56  \nMatthew Truscott violin & director\nRowan Pierce soprano\nAnita Monserrat mezzo-soprano\nEd Lyon tenor\nMarcus Farnsworth baritone \nIt’s no surprise that Handel’s Messiah continues to draw audiences back year after year. There is nothing quite like it. Although the Hallelujah chorus has become the work’s calling card\, Handel wrote every note to impress and astound his listeners.  \nIts choruses are as grand as anything Handel ever composed\, the solo writing profoundly moving\, the drama powerful and compelling. Performed ‘the Dunedin way’ as Handel would have first heard it\, with a small orchestra\, a team of twelve singers and soloists who step out from the chorus\, there are few more uplifting ways to celebrate the festive season  \nTickets: £6 – £42  \n\nIncluded in Edinburgh subscription season\, save up to 20% when buying 2+ concerts at the same time – book online at www.thequeenshall.net\, in person at The Queen’s Hall box office\, or call 0131 668 2019

SUMMARY:Early German Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Throughout 17th and 18th century Germany\, Christmas remained a season of reflection and celebration\, shaped as much by local tradition and congregational hymn singing as by rousing festive music. \nSamuel Scheidt Intrada No.22\nJohann Rosenmüller Also hat Gott die Welt beliebt\nChristian Geist Wie schön\nJohann Christoph Bach Merk auf\, mein Herz BWV-Anhang 163\nGeorg Böhm Nun Komm\, der Heiden Heiland\nDieterich Buxtehude Wachet auf\nJohann Theile Nun ich singe Gott ich knie\nHeinrich Schütz Sehet an den Feigenbaum\nJohann Sebastian Bach Nun Komm\, der Heiden Heiland\, BWV 61  \nJohn Butt director & harpsichord\nZoë Brookshaw soprano\nJoanna Songi soprano\nSarah Anne Champion alto\nGuy Cutting tenor\nChristopher Webb bass  \nThroughout 17th and 18th century Germany\, Christmas remained a season of reflection and celebration\, shaped as much by local tradition and congregational hymn singing as by rousing festive music. From court chapels to town churches\, composers contributed to a rich tapestry of Advent and Christmas music\, each work offering a different perspective on the story at its heart\, the celebration of Christ’s birth.  \nFigures such as Scheidt\, Schütz and Buxtehude laid the foundations of this tradition\, blending sacred and devotional intensity with expressive immediacy\, while later composers including J.S. Bach and his sons built upon these influences and transformed them.  \nAt this festive programme’s core is the chorale Nun komm\, Der Heiden Heiland\, a cornerstone of Lutheran Advent worship with a distinctive melody that provided the perfect foundation for composers such as Buxtehude\, Böhm and J.S. Bach to return to in search of new textures\, harmonies and melodic ornamentation.  \nTickets: £18 – £50
