SUMMARY:Sheffield Bach Choir - Handel Messiah in Cutler's Hall
DESCRIPTION:Monday 14th December 2026 at 7pm    Cutler’s Hall Sheffield \nDon’t miss this return of Messiah to Cutler’s Hall following the sell out performance in this most magnificent of settings last year. The choir is thrilled to have been invited back this year\, and tickets will no doubt be very popular – the main hall looks marvellous at the best of times but is spectacular decorated for Christmas.  Given the choir’s legendary mastery of the work\, the stage is set for a very special concert! \nComposed in 1741 with text from the Bible\, Messiah has been performed countless times the world over ever since\, the Hallelujah Chorus featuring in countless films from ‘Bridget Jones’ Diary’ and  ‘Shrek the Halls’ to ‘Scrooged’ and ‘The Duchess’. \nMake your Christmas celebrations complete by joining the choir\, the National Festival Orchestra and a team of stunning soloists for this very special performance. There truly is nothing like hearing this magnificent choral work accompanied by a full orchestra\, and  Sheffield’s historic Cutler’s Hall\, ‘where historic grandeur meets timeless elegance’ will make it an extra special experience! \nRefreshments will be available from the Cutler’s Hall bar before the concert and during the interval. \nMistress Cutler Gina Jackson had this to say after last year’s performance: ” The hall normally has a buzz during our annual feast but tonight your choir beat that hands down .“ \nBernard Lee in the Sheffield Telegraph following a previous concert: “the final Amen prompted an instantaneous standing ovation. Entirely merited: sopranos soaring\, it was absolutely superb choral singing.” \n\nSheffield Bach Choir\nNational Festival Orchestra\nRuth Nicholson – Continuo\nHelen Massey – Soprano\nAilsa Mainwaring – Alto\nNicholas Watts – Tenor\nDean Robinson – Bass\nPhilip Collin – Conductor\n\nTickets are likely to sell fast\, so booking online is strongly recommended (small booking fee payable). Tickets will be released on Tuesday 8 September\, when you can BOOK YOUR MESSIAH TICKETS \nTickets will also be available through choir members; it’s likely that few will be available on the door.

SUMMARY:Sheffield Bach Choir - BACH – ST JOHN PASSION
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 13 March 2027 at 19.30       St Mark’s Broomhill\nDescribed by John Elliot Gardiner as being “closer to theatre than anywhere else in his sacred music”\, Bach’s St John Passion is full of dramatic tension\, with pauses for reflection and chorales providing response.  As one of his ‘big three’ it’s a must for lovers of baroque and choral music\, and of course\, of J.S Bach. \nThe Sheffield Bach Choir has performed this magnificent work every three years for over fifty years and over twenty with the wonderful National Festival Orchestra\, and choir and orchestra are well matched masters of the work. Sung in the original German as part of Classical Sheffield’s Classical Weekend festival 2027 and conducted by Phillip Collin\, this will be one not to miss. \n“From the outset\, the audience was captivated by the sheer intensity of the haunting opening chorus\, with the choir and orchestra capturing the pain and suffering of the biblical text.” Gary O-Shea\, Sheffield Telegraph\, following the choir’s previous performance of this work \n\nSheffield Bach Choir\nNational Festival Orchestra\nTristan Moore – Evangelist\nWilliam Burn – Christ\nLouise Wayman – Soprano\nKatie Sharpe – Alto\nDavid Bonar – Bass\nPhilip Collin – conductor\n\nTickets will be available online and on the door\, prices to be announced\, accompanied children free.
