Handel’s Messiah with Holmfirth Choral society at Christ Church, New Mill

Holmfirth Choral society presents Handels’ Messiah. The Valley Sinfonia (led by Mary Barber) provide the accompaniment, and the soloists include internationally acclaimed operatic soprano Nicola Mills, with Emily Reaves-Bradley (who is a long-serving musical director of Honley Ladies’ Choir, and has sung solo for us previously), Colin Shires (a Mrs. Sunderland trophy winner) and David Kaye (of the Mastersingers) so this promises to be a memorable performance. It will be conducted by Geoffrey Lockwood – his final Messiah with Holmfirth Choral before he retires in December, and Malcolm Hinchliffe will be at the keyboard. Tickets (£10) will be available from Choral members, or at the door on the day.
