About HCS | Handel Messiah by Candlelight
‘Christmas doesn’t start until Hereford Choral Society has sung Messiah’, or words to that effect, are frequent comments following this atmospheric, candlelight concert. Add in the evocative sound of the period instruments, played by Marches Baroque, and you have an unforgettable experience that regularly fills the seats in Hereford Cathedral.
Much-loved since that first performance over 275 years ago at Neal’s Musick-Hall in Dublin’s Fishamble Street, Messiah has been at the heart of the choral society tradition for over 250 years.
