This unique occasion is the one hundred and fiftieth performance by The Sixteen of Handel's great masterpiece and follows on from the launch of the ensemble's new recording of the work on their own label, CORO.

Like Christmas pudding, this Messiah is the connoisseur option...The Sixteen scrub down the choral counterpoint, open up the texture, and give the words room to breathe. Hallelujah. The Independent

What a winning combination: Handel's Messiah, the most popular oratorio ever written, sung by The Sixteen, the most richly sonorous of the early music choirs. The Daily Telegraph
