Handel's Hallelujah Chorus | MSO Virtual Choir feat. MSO Chorus

Details

Description

Featuring more than 200 people, this festive performance of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus is very special. The Orchestra recorded in St Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne with conductor Benjamin Northey while the 200 strong chorus recorded their parts separately from home. We've brought them together to celebrate the festive season with a heartfelt and rousing, Hallelujah!

This year the MSO would have celebrated 80 years of performing Handel's Messiah in a row, and while 2020 has been challenging, we couldn't let that record slip. Look out for the full Messiah highlights clip coming to YouTube and MSO.LIVE this Monday (21 December, 2020).

In the meantime, we're thrilled to share this virtual choir performance with you. Thank you to all our participants, and Happy Holidays!

For the MSO, 2020 was the most challenging year in our long history.

We’ve poured out hearts and souls into keeping the music going. But we need you, our fellow music lovers, now more than ever.
