Make a difference this Christmas season as you sing along to choruses from Handel's Messiah at Coriole Vineyard's People's Messiah.
Held in Coriole's acoustically superb barrel room, the People's Messiah is an opportunity to sing along to the choruses of Handel's Messiah, or just enjoy the soaring sounds of The Corinthian Singers with guest soloists from the Adelaide Chamber Singers and State Opera of SA.
George Handel's Messiah first premiered in 1742 as part of a charity event. In this tradition, proceeds from Coriole's People's Messiah will go to Catherine House who provide supported accommodation and emergency housing for women in South Australia.
Handel conducted Messiah many times and often altered the music to suit the needs of the singers and orchestra he had available to him for each performance. In this way the Coriole event is the people's Messiah where the audience is led by musical director Christie Anderson and accompanist Karl Geiger to sing along to the choruses.
The songs from Handel's Messiah relate to Jesus' life, death and resurrection and have now become a celebratory tradition in the lead up to Christmas.
Whether you join the audience choir or just sit back and enjoy the performance, the quality of the sound in the barrel room commands complete attention. Handel’s glorious music is the perfect way to herald in Christmas, said Coriole Vineyards Director, Mark Lloyd.
Bring your own picnic to enjoy in the courtyard after the performance. Coriole wines which will be available for purchase by the glass or bottle.
