Historically informed, never constrained by tradition – experience Handel’s Messiah afresh with Platinum Consort

Under the direction of Scott Inglis-Kidger, Platinum brings a distinctive approach to Handel’s masterpiece. Professional consort singers and talented young choristers perform together, with soloists stepping out from the ensemble, reflecting the scale and flexibility of the forces Handel himself knew.

Historically informed but never constrained by tradition, the performance combines the colours of Platinum’s period-instrument orchestra with a fresh and imaginative approach to the score. Familiar choruses and arias are brought vividly to life through bold musical choices, expressive detail and the immediacy of a true ensemble performance.

Now in its sixth year, Platinum’s Messiah offers the chance to hear this much-loved work afresh.

A Species of Musick Different From Any Other: Handel's Messiah

Paul Kilbey, 1st November

“It is difficult in no common degree to write anew concerning The Messiah,”1 said the music writer Henry F Chorley in 1859. The piece was, of course, 117 years old at the time, and there has only been more written on this landmark composition since. Handel’s Messiah is not just a popular classic, after all: it’s also a hugely important work.
