SUMMARY:Messiah
DESCRIPTION:It’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. \nThis performance is presented with British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation throughout\, delivered by an interpreter positioned on the left side of the stage facing the audience. As seating is unreserved for this performance\, to ensure you can see the BSL interpreter\, please contact us  and we will reserve a seat for you. \nPaul Whittaker OBE\, BSL interpreter \nTickets: £6 – £35 \nDownload your free programme here

SUMMARY:Children's Messiah
DESCRIPTION:Our Children’s Messiah performances are specially crafted with young ears in mind! Guided by Mr Handel\, this specially devised 45-minute adaptation of Handel’s masterpiece will guide young listeners through some of his greatest hits\, with plenty of fun and interactive games along the way. \nFor many children this may be their first introduction to the concert hall — and we want it to be a transformative experience. Get to know our soloists\, conductor\, chorus and orchestra\, and the music we love to perform. Who knows\, there might even be the chance for some brave audience members to conduct the orchestra… \n\n\n\n\nOur Children’s Messiah performances are presented with British Sign Language\, and we have team members trained in BSL who will be happy to assist you during your visit. We are also pleased to offer social stories for our Children’s Messiah events\, so that we can better welcome people on the autism spectrum and their families. \nTickets: £6 (free for adults attending the evening performance of Messiah) \nOur Children’s Messiah performances are generously sponsored by Baillie Gifford

SUMMARY:An Italian Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Christmas music isn’t all about trumpets\, drums\, and heavenly hosts. Baroque composers were equally interested in the shepherds and the stable and Arcangelo Corelli’s evocation of the straw and lowing cattle is perhaps the most famous of them all. In using the concerto grosso form\, he was both picking up on Alessandro Stradella’s structural innovation and inspiring Pietro Locatelli in his own Christmas scene. \n\n\nStradella also contributes a Nativity cantata with a twist: the first character to appear is Satan! Caroline Shaw\, herself a string player and singer\, will draw these threads of virtuoso strings and singers together in her second commission for Dunedin Consort. \n£18 – £50

SUMMARY:Susanna
DESCRIPTION:Susanna is one of Handel’s lesser-known oratorios. But it’s one for our time\, with depressingly familiar themes of sexual assault by those in power\, corruption\, and the fickleness of public opinion. Susanna rejects the unwelcome attention of two lascivious elders who spy on her while she bathes alone. In retaliation\, they concoct false charges of adultery against her that bring the threat of execution. \n\n\nThanks to the intervention of Daniel\, her name is cleared and they in turn are sentenced to death. Like Theodora\, another late masterpiece\, its mood is sometimes contemplative\, but interspersed with comedy and a gripping court scene that thrilled audiences of Handel’s time and will leap off the page with this first-class cast. \n£10 – £45

SUMMARY:Reformations: Cantata
DESCRIPTION:UK PREMIERE \nPulled from an Irish bog in 2006\, the Faddan More Psalter serves as the inspiration for a new cantata from David Fennessy that uses similar orchestration to the unusual forces of this evening’s other three cantatas.

SUMMARY:Bach's Markus Passion
DESCRIPTION:The UK premiere of a staged version of “a new Bach masterpiece”\, produced by Bill Barclay’s Concert Theatre Works and brought to life by the Dunedin Consort with John Butt and actor Joseph Marcell.\n\nJ. S. Bach Markus Passion BWV 247\n\nDunedin Consort\nJoseph Marcell evangelist\nAnna Dennis soprano\nJames Hall countertenor\nNicholas Mulroy tenor\nMatthew Brook bass-baritone\nJohn Butt conductor \nMalcolm Bruno editor\nBill Barclay writer\, director \n\n\n\nThe St Mark Passion – the most intimate of J.S. Bach’s three Passion settings – was first performed in 1731\, a few years after his monumental St Matthew Passion. But shortly after the composer’s death\, the manuscript score went missing and the search for the original music has occupied musicians and scholars ever since its loss was first noticed in 1850. \nThough discovery of the original Markus-Passion continues to elude us\, there are enough clues – in the unique instrumentation\, in the text and in the practice of Baroque composers of repurposing their existing music – for a full reconstruction of the long-lost score. \nThis new edition by Malcolm Bruno of Bach’s “pocket passion” is dramatically presented by writer and director Bill Barclay in this theatrical production. It offers a unique role for an actor speaking the role of Evangelist (in English)\, alongside four singers and single strings\, creating the intimacy of chamber music. \nFollowing the world premiere in New York in April 2025\, Bill Barclay and acclaimed actor Joseph Marcell (Fresh Prince of Bel-Air\, Shakespeare’s Globe\, Royal Shakespeare Company and The National Theatre) are joined for the UK premiere at the Aldeburgh Festival by renowned conductor and scholar John Butt and the Dunedin Consort . \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:EIF: Clori\, Tirsi e Fileno
DESCRIPTION:Little is known about the genesis of Handel’s early comic cantata Clori\, Tirsi e Fileno\, but the score was mined for a number of hits in his more well-known operas. Who better to bring this once neglected comedy to fizzing life than Dunedin Consort with director John Butt. \nGeorge Frideric Handel Clori\, Tirsi e Fileno HWV 96  \nJohn Butt director \n Julie Roset  Clori\nNardus Williams Tirsi\nReginald Mobley Fileno\nDunedin Consort \n\nClori\, Tirsi e Fileno tells the pastoral tale of an indecisive shepherdess whose wavering affections drive both her suitors away\, proving that love doesn’t always flourish – sometimes it fades before it even begins. A light-hearted romp through the mores of its time\, it concludes with a playful trio\, Vivere e non amar (‘To live and not to love’). \nSharp-eared listeners will find echoes in Handel’s Rodrigo and Acis and Galatea but hearing this witty cantata in its full is a rare and revelatory treat.
